Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is an online library over of 70,000 free eBooks. They focus on materials whose U.S. copyright has expired; in practice, this mostly means books that were first published at least 95 years ago. More recent translations are unlikely to be available here as the translation has its own copyright.
Gallica
Research the impact of religion on culture throughout history, including literature, arts, and language. Updated daily.
Oxford journals (about 240) and ebooks purchased from Oxford. This does NOT include the Oxford English Dictionary which is on its own platform.

The collections are the following: Arts & Sciences I to XV, Business IV, Hebrew Journals, Ireland, Life Sciences, Lives of Literature, Public Health, Security Studies, Sustainability, Global Plants, Struggles for Freedom in Southern Africa, World Heritage Sites: Africa, and 19th Century British Pamphlets.
