- This list is by no means exhaustive. It was created to help locate older literature that was not available to my local library. It was started in a largely pre-monster-digitalization-initiatives world, but until there's a crawler that gets all of these and more, finding library repos and journal archives remains important. There are some rogue journals in this list; I included them because they were major sources for the taxa I'd been working on.
- My current recommendation is that one starts the search at Plazi and Biodiversity Heritage Library, the Internet Archive book collections (many libraries share special collections there) as the chances that libraries contributed to those sites are high..

- Core Historical Literature of Agriculture (CHLA)
- Digitized by the Albert R. Mann Library, Ithaca, NY Cornell University. http://chla.library.cornell.edu (Version January 2005). "The literature of agriculture is replete with information about sustainable agricultural methods, observations, production, and effects. Until the 1940s, farmers did not use pesticides and chemical fertilizers in quantity. The record of pre-World War II agriculture is almost entirely a literature of what we now call "alternative" agriculture."

- Hathi Trust
- HathiTrust is a partnership of a number of academic & research institutions, offering a collection of millions of titles digitized from libraries around the world. Many of the titles that had expired copyrights were available also through Google Books; after Google changed their rules for downloads they may not be finable there, so there's a chance they would be here. Note also that lots of titles are not available to be browsed outside of the US or from a non-library IP address, so it's free ma non tanto.
