The Baldwin Online Children’s Literature Project

This online project is officially called “Bringing Yesterday’s Classics to Today’s Children.” The statement of purpose from their site is:

The Baldwin Project seeks to make available online a comprehensive collection of resources for parents and teachers of children. Our focus, initially, is on literature for children that is in the public domain in the United States. This includes all works first published before 1923. The period from 1880 or so until 1922 offers a wealth of material in all categories, including: Nursery Rhymes, Fables, Folk Tales, Myths, Legends and Hero Stories, Literary Fairy Tales, Bible Stories, Nature Stories, Biography, History, Fiction, Poetry, Storytelling, Games, and Craft Activities.

Permission has been granted to:

to print copies for personal and educational uses. The texts are formatted so that attractive copies can be printed easily, in larger type for younger readers and smaller type for older ones, with illustrations included where possible. Teachers and parents can make use of the readers that are already available, or they can construct their own readers by selecting stories from the existing pool.

Included are some well known authors: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Hans Christian Andersen, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Walter Scott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Robert Louis Stevenson.  There are selections in these genres: Science, Nature, Poetry, Mythology, Literature, Legends, History, Geography, Fiction, Fairy Tales, Fables, and Biography.  There are some eBooks available for download also.  This is a very rich resource!
