Newton Papers Online - Notebooks & Principia Mathematica
In summary, there is an interesting collection of Newton's papers, including his notebooks and his copy of the Principia Mathematica, available online through the Cambridge University Digital Library. The Hebrew University has also published Einstein's notes on the web, and there is a friendly competition with the Newton Project, which is a comprehensive digital collection of all of Newton's writings, including his thoughts on religion and alchemy. The collection also includes a list of Newton's sins at age 19. Additionally, a conversation about a hyperboloid leads to a profound quote about truth by an unknown speaker.
