Scans of print editions
There are a large number of out-of-copyright print editions of Old English texts available either as .pdf files or as online readable "books".
Be aware that these are, of necessity, old editions, and the editorial matter in particular may have been superceded by more recent scholarships. The translations are also often very old fashioned and not entirely accurate.
Nonetheless, these provide easy access to texts and translations which can otherwise be hard to locate.
