Here’s a great site that has everything you need for many psychology classes, all drawn from the public domain and collected in one easy to use place. The site is more than just a dumping ground for psych books, though. Features include a full google site search, indexes by topic and author, and a very nice annotated list of reading suggestions to help professors decide what to assign. Highly Recommended!

Thanks to Wynn for the tip.

Classics in the History of Psychology is an effort to make the full texts of a large number of historically significant public domain documents from the scholarly literature of psychology and allied disciplines available on the World Wide Web. There are now over 25 books and about 200 articles and chapters on-line. The site also contains links to over 200 relevant works posted at other sites.

The target audience is researchers, teachers, and students of the history of psychology, both for use in their courses on the history of psychology, and for the purposes of primary academic research. To assist undergraduate teaching, in particular, original introductory articles and commentaries, written by some of the leading historians of psychology in North America, have been attached to a number of the most important works.
