Thank you,

It is nice that such a resource is available online for independent  
students without access to an academic library. I was wondering if  
anyone knew of any scanned images of original Manchu documents that  
might be useful for students who have worked through Dr. Li's textbook  
and want to practise on some original translations. I guess it would  
also be most useful if they were available online and in the public  
domain.

Sincerely
Eben Lindsey
