Wikisource
Wikisource like Wikipedia is an on-line project of the Wikimedia Foundation which is based on the MediaWiki-Software. Texts, pictures, audio recordings stored and jointly edited there are free of copyright, either because this has expired or because the text has been released under a free license. Wikisource is splitted up into language domains, e.g. English, German, French, Hebrew (ויקיטקסט), Polish (Wikiźródła) and Russian (Викитека).
The Illustration above depicting medieval Rome is from the Nuremberg Chronicle, a current project of German Wikisource.
