Under United States copyright law, all works published in the United States before 1923 are in the public domain. In 1993, Kevin Knight, then a 26-year-old resident of Denver, Colorado, was inspired, during the visit of Pope John Paul II to that city for World Youth Day, to launch a project to publish the 1913 edition of the encyclopedia on the Internet. Knight founded the website New Advent to house the undertaking. Volunteers from the United States, Canada, France and Brazil helped in the transcription of the original material. The site went online in 1995 and transcription efforts ended in 1997.

In 2007 Catholic Answers published a version derived from page scans.

The 1922 supplement to the Encyclopedia is also in the public domain, but as of 2007 has not been placed on-line. The New Catholic Encyclopedia is available online at some libraries.

The scanned copies of it are also available on Google Books, which is not accessible outside the USA. The Google Books scans are easier to read than the scans by Catholic Answers when the zoom feature is used. Volumes : 1: 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10 : 11 : 12 : 13: 14: 15: 16 :
