Websites to download for free

For downloading documents like standards, technical papers, or textbooks for free, you should always
prioritize legal, safe, and authorized sources. Some sites do offer free, legitimate access to certain
documents, such as open-access repositories, public libraries, and online databases. Here are some
options that could be useful:

1. Google Scholar

 Website: https://scholar.google.com/

 A great resource for finding academic papers, technical documents, and research articles. Some
papers have free PDF versions available through open-access or authors' personal websites.

2. ResearchGate

 Website: https://www.researchgate.net/

 Researchers upload their papers, and you can often request a copy directly from the authors if
it's not openly accessible. It’s a great way to find free versions of technical papers and standards
research.

3. Public.Resource.Org

 Website: https://public.resource.org/

 Public.Resource.Org makes certain standards available for free, especially those important for
public safety and accessibility. Some documents may be available here if they’ve been legally
shared for public use.

4. Internet Archive (archive.org)

 Website: https://archive.org/

 Archive.org offers a massive library of free books, including many historical standards and
engineering books. You may find older editions of some documents here.

5. National Construction Code (NCC) Online (For Australia)

 Website: https://ncc.abcb.gov.au/

 The NCC can be accessed for free after creating an account. While this doesn’t cover all
Australian Standards, it includes key codes for construction, which often reference specific
standards.

6. Library Genesis (LibGen)

 Website: https://libgen.is/

 While controversial and not always legal for all content, LibGen has a large repository of
academic papers, textbooks, and some technical documents. It’s often used by students and
researchers in countries where resources are limited, but you should use it cautiously and
ensure you’re respecting copyright laws.
7. Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD)

 Website: https://oatd.org/

 OATD provides access to millions of open-access graduate theses and dissertations, which can
sometimes include detailed technical research, design methodology, and case studies related to
engineering standards.

If you’re affiliated with a university or professional institution, you may also want to check if they provide
access to certain paid resources for free.
