It also would surprise me if it's in accordance with modern Russian, much less international, copyright law - please correct me if I'm wrong.
Unless/until I find evidence that they have the legal right to host some of the files they're hosting, I can't link to it in good conscience in the top post of this thread, sorry. While some of the files are clearly ok, others strike me as quite dubious. Thank you both; I appreciate your understanding on this matter. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

A belated 'thank you' to everyone who's contributed so far; I've been trying to catch up with the backlog of suggestions, rather than write a lot of these posts!
You've contributed a lot of really wonderful links; thank you. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Finnish:
- http://www.finlit.fi/kirjasto/digi/ (Part of SKS (Finnish Literature Society's) website is navigable in English, Finnish or Swedish but its collection of online texts is navigable in Finnish only. The collection has some Finnish literature from the 19th century that can be viewed in .pdf, scanned facsimiles or .jpg. To see the books, click on "SKS:n digitoidut teokset" ('SKS' digitalized texts'), and then click on "Kaikki teokset" ('All texts') to get a list of the texts that can then be read online. - http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/contentdelivery/servlet /ERICServlet?accno=ED024025 (FSI Finnish Graded Reader available from ERIC) Hebrew: - http://www.benyehuda.org/index.html (This is a Hebraic counterpart of Project Gutenberg and is navigable in Hebrew only. Texts are viewable in .html.) Hungarian: - http://www.irodalmiakademia.hu (This is an online collection of Hungarian literature mainly from the 20th century from the Petõfi Literary Museum. It is navigable only in Hungarian despite giving the impression at the top right corner of also being navigable in English or German. To see an online text, click on the name of an author (list of names under the heading "A Digitális Irodalmi Akadémia tagjai" ('Members of the Digital Literary Academy') and then click on the left menu "Digitalizált szövegek" ('Digitalized texts'). You will then see a list of works for that author which can be viewed in .html)) Icelandic - http://sagnanet.is/ (This is an online collection mainly of Icelandic sagas by the National and University Library of Iceland, Cornell University, and the Árni Magnússon Institute. Some texts are still not available for viewing. Viewable texts are presented as digital images. The site is navigable in English or Icelandic) Portuguese: - http://www.alfredo-braga.pro.br/biblioteca/ (This is an online collection of famous literature which is navigable only in Portuguese. I'm not sure about the legality of these translations, but am guessing from the brief introduction that it has some link to a project from UNESCO. All texts are in Portuguese) Turkish - http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/contentdelivery/servlet /ERICServlet?accno=ED041267 (FSI Turkish Graded Reader available from ERIC) - http://aton.ttu.edu/ (This is an archive at Texas Tech University holding material related to oral narratives in Turkic languages. Most material is in Turkish, but I did see a text in Kazakh and a link to a recording of Tuvan harmonic singing). Most of the site is navigable in English or Turkish, but a few parts are navigable in Turkish only. Texts are in .pdf while accompanying narration where provided is available in .mp3 or .m3u. The archive also includes recordings of Turkic folk music) Edited by Chung on 05 March 2010 at 12:53am 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks Chung, I've added them all, as well as the UNESCO digital libraries page the Portuguese page linked to. Great links!
