Finding free access to classic physics papers by Einstein and Hawking

[Rhydo]

Hi!

I'am young and am very excited about Physics. I would like to read the research papers written by famous physicists like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. I have been looking for websites which feature these papers for free, but in vain.

Can anyone please help me with a link toa website from where I can read the real papers like the one written by Stephen Hawking on Blackhole thermodynamics and the like or maybe Albert Einstein's General Relativity papers?

I' am sorry if thi sounds stupid but I really couldn't find any websites and my local library is not very well stocked.

The Nobel prize has lectures online. With a bit of luck you will find one or two famous people on their list :-)
