A major resource for History of Science courses, it covers
works in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Maths
and the broad interdisciplinary studies for which Royal
Society journals are so well known. As a substantial
corpus of work in early modern English, it is also of
interest to linguistics departments.
The Journals Archive is the only way to guarantee
perpetual access to all Royal Society journals from 1665
to 1996. It offers significant value to libraries who need to
reduce print holdings or off-site storage costs, and can
release over 50 metres of shelf space.
Notable authors include Sir Christopher Wren, Benjamin
Franklin, James Clerk Maxwell, Alan Turing, Kathleen
Lonsdale, Stephen Hawking and Dorothy Hodgkins.
