Old Relativity Texts - Download Free from Archive.org

While doing some local history research I came across the following, which is very useful for history research.

http://www.archive.org

However if you do a search on relativity you will find many old texts including those by Robb, Tolman, Eddington, Weyl, Schlick and others, most pro but some anti relativity, all freely downloadable, each one in several formats.

I hope those not already familiar with this site will find this informsation helpful.

Cool, thanks! I had gone to a lot of trouble in the past to get copies of Born and Eddington -- had no idea they were available on archive.org!

Too bad it doesn't have Pauli's 1921 article on relativity or its expanded book form from 1956. This is a really interesting document, especially considering how you Pauli was and and how new relativity was, and how thorough this book was for the day.
