This page attempts to index the FREE, permanently available vertebrate palaeontology (and occasionally neontology :P) papers that I have found online. None of these papers are hosted by this site. I am aware of the incompleteness of this list, and hope to add new links frequently.
Many modern "classics" of dinosaur literature can be downloaded, as of 03-04-05, from a reading list at Florida State University. I do not know if these files will be deleted when the course is over, so save them now!
For translations of non-English palaeontology papers, try The Polyglot Paleontologist.
And now, the links! :)
