I know this question has been asked before but does anyone know where I could find some of Einstein's original handwritten papers? Obviously they would be in german but its no problem. There is so much junk about him on the internet its hard to sift through it all

Thanks,
Jeff

I wanted scans of the handwritten ones. Its not a huge deal I just had a moment where I wanted those for my background. I found the site listed above(I think it was first on google) but it only has a few pages of the scans and not the whole paper so i could pick which page I wanted. Thanks anyway
