Royal Society Instant Library

6:11 pm

Back at the beginning of the year, I posted the news that the American Museum of Natural History had made over 100 years worth of their scientific publications available free, online, in PDF format.

Now, over 350 years worth of publications from the Royal Society are online, searchable, and available to download. All the Philosophical Transactions, Proceedings, Notes, Records, and Memoirs, going back to 1665, are now available as PDFs free for the reading here.

Unlike the AMNH, though, these goodies have an expiration date. Come December, the Royal Society will begin charging fees for this sort of electronic access to their publications. So take advantage of their generosity now!
