Royal Society Archive

Access on and off campus. 

Journals from the Royal Society have been communicating the latest developments across all of science since 1665. The journals archive, launched in 2017, contains high quality full colour images of the original publications, and is significantly easier to read and more searchable than previous archive material.

The archive is a major resource for History of Science courses and also covers major works in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Maths and the broad interdisciplinary studies for which the Royal Society journals are so well known. 

With articles by scientists who were prominent in different areas of public life, the archive is a fascinating resource for all History students and researchers working on the post-enlightenment period, whatever their area of interest. Authors include Sir Christopher Wren, Benjamin Franklin, James Clerk Maxwell, Alan Turing, Kathleen Lonsdale, Stephen Hawking and Dorothy Hodgkins.
