===Historical books online===
*[http://myrepositori.pnm.gov.my Repositori Digital] Digital repository of the National Library of Malaysia. Contains some books in English, although it does not appear possible to browse the English language books as a distinct category. For some books the “date of issue” appears to br the digitization date, rather than the date of publication. A number of the English language books are in the category [http://myrepositori.pnm.gov.my/xmlui/handle/1/111/browse Koleksi Peribadi]. Some examples:
**[http://myrepositori.pnm.gov.my/xmlui/handle/1/635 ''Historical tombstones of Malacca''] by R N Bland 1904
**[http://myrepositori.pnm.gov.my/xmlui/handle/123456789/2728 ''Notes from the Sarawak Gazette 1909-1915''] by J C Moulton

*[http://www.sabrizain.org/malaya/library/index.htm [Digital<nowiki>]</nowiki> Sejarah Melayu Library] (abrizain.org) has an extensive collection of English language historical books to download as pdfs, with some to also read as text. Click on the titles for further details of the author and year published. If you prefer to read original images, look at the text version (if available), as for some books, it may be apparent they are available on websites such as Archive.org or Google Books. The Sejarah Melayu Library includes an extensive collection of ''Journals of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society'' (SBRAS) which became the '' Journal of the Malayan Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society'' (MBRAS). Click on individual journal issues, and the contents will be shown. These do not seem to be complete issues, but selected articles.
