BBC News - The Royal Society puts historic papers online

From lightning to black holes - historic science papers go online

excerpts from the news:

'Thrilling moments'

Lord Rees said: "The scientific papers on Trailblazing represent a ceaseless quest by scientists over the centuries, many of them Fellows of the Royal Society, to test and build on our knowledge of humankind and the universe.

"Individually, they represent those thrilling moments when science allows us to understand better and to see further."

The Royal Society is holding a series of events during its 350th year to mark the anniversary.

They include a nine-day science and arts festival next summer and a series of public lectures and debates at its London headquarters.

Reminds me of the Great Library at Alexandria. But in a way, the internet itself seems to be the new "Alexandria Library".
