Just fyi (I couldn't decide where this goes, so if it needs to be moved...):
Marx-Engel's Collected Works was taken down by the Marxist Internet Archive, but History Is A Weapon mirrored it here:

Lawrence & Wishart, who hold the copyright for the Marx Engels Collected Works, directed Marxists Internet Archive to delete all texts originating from MECW. Accordingly, from 30th April 2014, no material from MECW is available from marxists.org. But it's available at History Is A Weapon (http://www.historyisaweapon.com) because we're jerks.
Haha, awesome.

The MIA itself links to several mirror sites that still contain the Collected Works. I've only checked a few of the links, but assume the Collected Works are available through all the links on this page:

Apart from minor letters and so on that were never on the MIA to begin with, I believe they do. On the front page, click on Marx or Engels. Click 'Collected Works'. Select the volume and text of your choice.
The Lawrence and Wishart message is on the 'Collected Works' page and the links are grey, but they work just fine in my experience.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. You should also be able to get any volumes from your local library. If your library doesn't have the physical copies on its shelves, you should definitely be able to get them sent to you through interlibrary loan or if your state or region has some sort of special statewide or region-wide sharing program.

Minor letters? The overwhelming majority of letters has always been missing on MIA. For those interested in the correspondence, you can find the first volume containing the letters here http: //mecollectedworks.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/marx-engels-collected-works-volume-38_-ka-karl-marx.pdf
Just change the number in the address bar for a different volume.
