Here are a few sites which offer text collections:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_library#National_and_international_archivesAnd here are names of other digital libraries (like Questia, JSTOR, etc.):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_digital_library_projects
I just navigated to a JSTOR page through a Google link and saw this on the page:
This article is available for purchase from the publisher for $12.00 USD.
Ski,At AMU, if there is a specific article you want but can't access through JSTOR ask the library, they can usually get it and they will either email it to you or snail mail a hard copy. I have done this a few times and they are pretty quick. The librarians at AMU have always been great. They got me a copy of the times of London from 1866 that the newspaper wanted $25 for and I got it through the library for free.Don't underestimate the school librarians and I would advise anyone going to school to use their library as much as possible, that is what it is there for and the librarians are normally experts at their craft.

Here are some more good links for historical sources:Google books @http://books.google.com/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wpProject Gutenberg @http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_PageCGSC library @http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/US Army Center for Military History@http://www.history.army.mil/bookshelves.htmlAll three have an extensive collection of digital books available for either online reading or some you can download and have printed. I have found that all three are useful. Some of the holdings at the CGSC library are only available if you have AKO Access though.
History News NetworkMany good articles, like this one:Are U.S. History Textbooks Still Full of Lies and Half-Truths?
Many of the history articles that I link to on WCF are ones that I find in the news section of HNN.
Hmm, I read the articles you link to, but never noticed that website has all that other information.
For some intense Civil War research:http://ebooks.library.cornell.edu/m/moawar/waro.htmlThe Official Records of the war of the rebellion. In pulp form they total 128 volumes.
Here's a site with a number of different maps of the ancient world, free for educational use:http://www.unc.edu/awmc/mapsforstudents.html
Here is a site with an extensive collection of translations of the classics available. International World History Project
I can't remember if we discussed this site in the past, but I just came across this site…http://www.bibme.org/It enables the creation of bibliographies in a variety of formats that you can save and later download. What I like is that you just have to input the ISBN number, author or title and it will pull up the correct citation or give you a list that you can choose from. I tried putting in a few journal articles titles that I've worked with recently, and unfortunately it wasn't able to find those in its database. So it's not perfect, but could still come in handy.
If you are running Office2007 it does the same thing. The best part is that it saves the information in a master file so that if you use the same source in a different paper later you dont have to retype the information. I think the latest version of OpenOffice does it as well although I am not sure because I dont use it.
This looks like it could be useful.Electronic Antiquity
