Chinese equivalent of archive.org?


Recommended Posts

Posted

As title - is there any big online database of old Chinese books that are outside copyright restrictions and searchable/viewable like the internet archive at archive.org? I'm looking for a few books that are easily available in physical form on kongfz.com but buying on this kind of website is very awkward right now, being based in the UK during a pandemic...

Thanks Shelley, I had overlooked project Gutenberg. That being said, it looks like it's all pretty mainstream stuff, I'm specifically looking for some rare books from the turn of the twentieth century I'm more looking for a Chinese website that might be used among academics in China

There are Taobao stores out there who will sell you PDF scans of out-of-print books for about 10 RMB.
