SourceLibrary
A free, open source hub offering over 20,000 translations of classical texts in dozens of languages (Latin, Greek, Chinese, Sanskrit, and more), with the original page image shown next to each AI translation so readers can verify it. It exposes a public MCP server so AI assistants can read books and quote accurately without hallucinating, retrieves images directly into Claude chats, and includes a research agent for diving into rabbithole topics. The philanthropic project is based at the non-profit Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam and aims to translate 100,000 books by the end of the year.
What it addresses

“https://SourceLibrary.org is a hub that now provides over 20,000 translations of classical texts in dozens of languages (Latin and Greek but also Chinese, Sanskrit, etc). We always provide the original image of the text next to the AI translation (so if you don't trust it, you can do it again).”
