The downloads page on www.sqlite.org appears to only have links to the current version, and I would like to get a previous version. I cannot see any obvious links to historical versions on the site and (unless I'm missing something obvious) there does not appear to be a sourceforge project.

Can someone point me at an archive of old SQLite source releases if such a thing exists?

I found this in their old message list archives. Hopefully this helps:

Older version of SQLite are aviable from the website, but there are no direct links on the web pages. You need to manually edit the links to get the file you need.

The 2.1 version of the database file implies that it was created with a 2.X.Y version of SQLite. You should get the latest version which is 2.8.17 (I believe).

If you go the download page http://www.sqlite.org/download.html and the right click on the link to download the latest Windows binary file, then

select Copy Link Location (at least using Firefox, in IE the command is Copy Shortcut). Now open a new tab or window and paste the link into the

address bar. You can edit the link and replace the version number with the version you want to download. In your case you need to change http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-3_5_6.zip to http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-2_8_17.zip and then press enter to start

Direct Access To The Sources

Also, if you want to compile yourself. Access to all SQLite source code is maintained in a CVS repository that is available for read-only access by anyone. You can interactively view the repository contents and download individual files by visiting this link

Also

This link will show when every sqlite version was released.

Checkout from cvs from the date you want and compile. Instruction how to checkout from cvs are here
Note: Use the -D option to checkout by date
