 Project Gutenberg is a great site, dedicated to recording and providing access to knowledge in the form of ebooks, audiobooks etc.

Today I found 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius, a book on primitive shelters, huts and log cabins and an Anglo-Saxon dictionary, all for free. It's all old stuff, but there is a great deal of knowledge to be found.

 Yep. Great site. 
 Psst. Are you aware of LibGen? 
 No I'm not, I'll check it out. 
 Librivox.org 
 i would like to have a full mirror of this site in my house 
 That would be great, a digital library of knowledge. 
 So much great information from the last century--truly a treasure trove of information if you just take the time to look... 
 From the days when things were built with care to last a long time, no plastic crap. 
 Downloaded a ton of books! Will finish in 20 years maybe 😅 
 I was doing it at work, so I mostly just copied the text and pictures into a word doc and saved that. I download and print a great deal of "educational materials" at work 😂
