Antique cookbooks online

[Barry Foy]

Can anyone direct me to any antique cookbooks that are viewable page by page online? I already know about the excellent Feeding America site, and I'm wondering if there's anything else like it out there, either individual books or collections. Thanks.

gfron1---That is an amazing list. Should be just the thing. FYI, I don't know if anyone else will have a similar problem, but I couldn't open the link in the original posting. However, there's a functioning link on The Old Foodie website.

rconnelly---I'll note that source for future reference. This time around, though, I'm looking for books whose pages I can read onscreen. Thanks for the tip.

The foodtimeline.org is fantastic! You should also try google books. Even better: go to various universities around the states. Many of them have huge digitzation projects-etc. You can find cook books from the 1700's to present scaned in for you. All free too! Also try project Gutenberg, online books:

Most of these don't have any copyright restrictions.

Not exactly a website, this is a pdf called "From Woodstoves to Microwaves".

These are old New Orleans recipes. They used to come in your electric bill.
