Nearly three and a half centuries of scientific study and achievement is now available online in the Royal Society Journals Digital Archive following its official launch this week. This is the longest-running and arguably most influential journal archive in Science, including all the back articles of both Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings.
For the first time the Archive provides online access to all journal content, from Volume One, Issue One in March 1665 until the latest modern research published today ahead of print. And until December the archive is freely available to anyone on the internet to explore.
Among other things, it will have Darwin's papers with his ground breaking research in motility of plant seeds, and ability to germinate after soaking in (sea) water.
Thank you for posting this!
Interesting stuff.
What is to prevent the part that is out of copyright from being mirrored?

An Account of Mr. Benjamin Franklin's Treatise, Lately Published, Intituled, Experiments and Observations on Electricity, Made at Philadelphia in America; By Wm. Watson, F. R. S.
This is a PDF document so I didn't link directly to the content. Click on "Open Full Text" at the right.
It is free until December2006. Since they have been keeping this since 1665, there is a lot of material.
Thanks!
I wonder how much of this archive will reveal cutting edge science that turned out, later, to be total bunk.
Thank you....this is really interesting....I admit I may not explore a whole lot but I did forward this to my thirst for more knowledge friends
bttt
That's how science works, you come up with ideas and then prove or disprove them.

AmishDude, Harumph. I think you're putting the go-cart before the horse, Mr. Buggy-Whip-Era.
Also, the guy's name is KENNY.

this is great, wifey through out all my issues 1 through 4500 in a fit of pique
Not math. Math is eternal. Mathematicians don't get to be wrong and then shrug their shoulders and say "oh, well".
All right! Sir Humphrey Davy and Michael Faraday will be my main searches.
Well math isn't really a science is it? It is more a system of logical reasoning that is used to understand observations and create predictive models in science.
Tell Albert Einstein math is not a science...
Mathematics is the language of the Universe... and is the only true science...
