The IMSLP already has an interesting collection of Karol Szymanowski's works.
http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Szymanowski,_Karol
However, as I noticed that quite a lot of his beautiful vocal compositions are missing from such an genious and full hearted composer, I suggest doing some updating on this matter.
As an sidenote: I did notice one earlier thread on the similar wish-matter:

It's not necessary to post an exhaustive list of these works here if links to such lists already exist.
