You've clearly not come across archive.org before
If I could only access one website for the rest of my life, it would be that.
It's a good service, but from my quick look it seems a bit esoteric for most people to make use of much if at all - e.g. stenograph collections. Grenada plantation records and pictures of cigarette cards. Heat for those who will find a use for it.
