Nothing says "curated list of useful resources" like copying other people's lecture notes to your own site / Google Docs. For instance, on this list:
https://profhugodegaris.wordpress.com/classical-mechanics-2/ https://profhugodegaris.wordpress.com/classical-mechanics-2/
here's a breakdown of the "papers":
* anon, A Brief Introduction to Classical, Statistical, and Quantum Mechanics (free)
Not "anon". Ends with the back cover of the book of the same name by Oliver Buehler.
* anon, Classical Mechanics I, Review Problems (free)
Not "anon", as presumably SOMEBODY taught Physics 503a at Emory in 1996 / 1997.
* anon, Resonances in Classical Mechanics (free)
More lecture notes. Who knows where "221B" was taught.
* Deotto et al, Hilbert Space Structure in Classical Mechanics, II (free)
PDF of an article from the Journal of Mathematical Physics. Not free, see AIP's site for terms
* Doran, Grassmann Mechanics, Multivector Derivatives and Geometric Algebra (free)
Preprint (?) of an article in conference proceedings. Springer may disagree with "free" on this.
* Duviryak, Classical Mechanics of Relativistic Particle with Colour (free)
Quite far off-topic for a traditional Classical Mechanics course; assumes sizable math (fiber bundles) and physics (Yang-Mills fields) knowledge.
* Fitzpatrick, Classical Mechanics, An Introductory Course (free)
Another batch of somebody else's lecture notes, from 2006.
* Forger, Romer, Currents and the Energy-Momentum Tensor in Classical Field Theory, A Fresh Look at an Old Problem (free)
This is hep-th/0307199 from arXiv.
* Hestenes, Hamiltonian Mechanics with Geometric Calculus (free)
From the same proceedings as the Doran article above.
* Hestenes, Spinor Particle Mechanics (free)
Another conference proceeding.
* Lasenby et al, Grassmann Calculus, Pseudoclassical Mechanics and Geometric Algebra (free)
Another Lasenby / Doran / Gull paper. This one's from J. Math. Phys.
* Morin, Introductory Classical Mechanics, with Problems and Solutions (free)
This has the copyright notices IN THE PDF, ffs. May be a 2003 draft of Morin's 2008 book.
* Nelson, Derivation of Schrodinger Equation from Newtonian Mechanics (free)
From Physical Review, 1966.
* Olshanetsky, Perelomov, Classical Integrable Finite-Dimensional Systems Related to Lie Algebras (free)
From Physics Reports. In a new low, has ORDERING INFO on the first page of the PDF. Yep, totes free...
* Pascazio, The Action in Classical Mechanics (free)
The first one on this list whose source wasn't immediately trackable. Reads like a lecture handout.
* Pearson, An Exact Classical Mechanics Leads toward Quantum Gravitation (free)
Self-published "here's my scheme to replace relativity" crankery. This doesn't belong here.
* Rajeev, PHY 411, Advanced Classical Mechanics (Chaos) (free)
More lecture notes, this time from U. of Rochester, 2002.
* Rosu, Classical Mechanics (free)
This is physics/9909035 from arXiv.
* Routh, A Treatise on the Dynamics of a Particle (free)
Out-of-copyright, as this is from 1898.
* Seahra, The Classical and Quantum Mechanics of Systems with Constraints (free)
Notes on a course, from a student. http://www.math.unb.ca/~seahra/notes.html http://www.math.unb.ca/~seahra/notes.html
* Tabachnikov, Math Methods of Classical Mechanics (free)
More lecture notes, with a bonus giant photo of the original author.
* Tabunshchyk, Hamilton-Jakobi Method for Classical Mechanics in Grassmann Algebra (free)
This is math-ph/9911001 from arXiv.
* Tatum, Classical Mechanics (free)
Lecture notes from the University of Victoria
* Woit, Hamiltonian Mechanics and Symplectic Geometry (free)
Lecture notes from Mathematics G6434 at Columbia.

Most of what's here isn't "free"; arXiv articles and out-of-copyright papers from 1898 are the exceptions not the rule.
