Source Library

Source Library is a digital humanities project dedicated to digitizing and translating rare historical texts. The live collection now spans 22,069 books by 5,095+ authors in 114 languages — including 17,814 fresh AI-assisted English translations (5,813 translated for the first time) and 15,320 artworks. The corpus emphasizes Hermetic, alchemical, kabbalistic, neoplatonic, and natural-magic traditions alongside early scientific thought, with a Gemini-based OCR + translation pipeline that has processed roughly 1.67 million pages for around $3,400 total.
