When you explore this website, you will find several categories including art, digital collections, movies, photos, and vector graphics – to name a few – all with items belonging to the public domain – to you. In some cases, the entire collection carries a public domain dedication, or a public domain mark, in other instances, just a portion of the offerings. It is important to always double check before reusing any content for personal or commercial purposes. For more info about license types etc – please visit the public domain resources page.
The following link collection is from the books category. It is a cleaned up version without descriptions or other information that may be included on the page. If you visit the books page, you will find a bit more information per link.
Please enjoy the list. If you know of a link that should be included, please let me know. I try to keep the links on all of the pages up to date to the best of my ability.
