Online booksThere has been an explosion of electronic books in the past few years, along with means to read them. As most works published before 1900 are now out of copyright, and therefore cost publishers nothing to reproduce, many have been reprinted. This includes many books about the early days of Methodism. There have been a number of projects to make older material available for free on the internet, and this guide concentrates on these. Duke University have made available a number of texts relating to http://divinity.duke.edu/initiatives-centers/cswt/research-resources/wesley-studies-resources https://divinity.duke.edu/initiatives-centers/cswt/wesley-texts Southern Methodist University have digitised their collection of letters relating to the early Methodists John Wesley Charles Wesley Cooke and Clarke families Emory University, Pitts Theology Library have digitised a collection of engravings of 612 Wesleyan Methodist ministers http://www.pitts.emory.edu/Archives/text/mss023.html A number of periodicals important in Methodist studies have had their back issues digitised.
