Just figure out what play they're from, and when the play was written. That should let you know whether or not it's contemporary.

"Online" is the worst place to find monologues-- get thee to a bookstore or a library, find yourself a collection of contemporary monologues (one that I often suggest is called "Moving Parts: Monologues from Contemporary Plays"). That's the best place to start...

Well, yes, if you need a monologue ASAP a monologue book is the way to go. However, for the long term, try to read/see as many plays as possible as part of your "theater education," and you will come to find monologues that work for you. Sometimes I'll see a play and buy the script just so I can use a particular monologue as an audition piece.

But yeah, don't go online for monologues. I've tried--there's nothing of worth on there (unless of course, you're buying a script).
