Coming to a Browser Near You: 340 Years of Science, For Free
September 19, 2006
The complete archive of the England’s Royal Society journals, including some of the most significant scientific papers ever published since 1665, is freely available electronically for a two month period that began on September 14th.
The archive contains seminal research papers including accounts of Michael Faraday’s groundbreaking series of electrical experiments, Isaac Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope, and the first research paper published by Stephen Hawking.
The Society’s online collection, which until now only extended back to 1997, contains every paper published in the Royal Society journals from the first ever peer-reviewed scientific journal, Philosophical Transactions in 1665, to the most recent addition, Interface.
I picked one article at random, from 1784. Would you be shocked to learn that the scanning and rendering are far superior to Google Books?
