All of Einstein's writings are now online

This is great. Would love them in a more accessible format. 10 mins in and I still haven't been able to find anything actually written by him… :-)

I'm excited about the digitzation project, but the search experience is so poor that it's difficult and cumbersome to locate any actually digitized work. Some of the digitized documents appear to be broken - like this one http://new.alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Record/EAR000016939. Those that you do find are virtually impossible to read, because they aren't actually transcriptions, they're relatively low-res image scans of his manuscripts. http://new.alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Digital/EAR000000025#... - then there's access wall pdfs embedded in some of the DB entries https://sec2.einstein.caltech.edu/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogon?cu... What a mess. I can only hope they make it much better in future revs.

I'm sure the internet will now point out how horribly wrong he was about everything.

The thing that makes me saddest about Einstein is that his last words are forever lost since they were in German to a nurse that did not speak the language.

I clicked on "Archival Database" and then "Find" (with no input) to see all documents. Using the filters on the right, I was then able to filter for Author = "Albert Einstein", Language = "English", and Digital Object = "Digitized Documents". Here's a link to what I got (sorted by title alphabetically): http://new.alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Search/Results?lookfo...

Even so, I am unable to figure out how to access the document. Perhaps I am missing something relevant?

Heh, not after the HN + Reddit effect.

we should always have people commenting when the site goes down after HN/reddit effect (if no one has done it already) and then we can have an avg time goes down/host provider graph show up. :)

It sounds cool, but site doesn't load for me.
