Conducting Library Research on "Confucianism in East Asia"

Translations

James Legge's translations of Confucius classics have been made available online by Chinese Text Project (set up by a doctoral student in Hong Kong). Even though it has made easier to access Legge's translations, it is always a good idea to double check the print edition and also more recent translations.
