Some but not all Yiddish texts are available in two formats: (1) transcribed; (2) PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader--which is free).
If you're looking for something in particular (e.g. a given number,
date, writer, subject) you can find it more quickly by pressing Control-F
and filling in the pop-up box.
