Books
Most if not all of these books are available on Google books in the form of brows-able or downloadable digital copies.
Note about pharmacist recipe/formula books:
Many of these types of books are published repeatedly either by the original authors or by others who make compilations of recipes. It is not unusual to find a formula that was published in the 1840s in a 1900 book. Often these are copied word for word, even the archaic ones. This can make reading later books confusing as the terms for ingredients and measures is not always consistent from formula to formula.

This is a partial list. I will add to it as time and research progresses.

This is a wonderful site for research because the author is very thorough with his documentation. The only caveat I have about this site is that it covers a very broad timeline, so the reader should be very careful if they are looking for period-specific information and pay attention to dates.

This is like a full library on your laptop, a fabulous way to research old texts you might not otherwise have access to.
