Can anyone please direct me to a website showcasing some famous Research Papers?

In summary, the person is looking for websites where they can read research papers by famous physicists like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. They have been unsuccessful in finding free websites and their local library is not well-stocked. One suggestion is the website "Classic papers on quantum mechanics and its interpretation" and another is the Nobel Prize lectures online.
