Monumental: Royal Society Digital Archives Free Until 2/1/09
The entire archives of the Royal Society, dating back to 1655, have been digitized and put online. Best of all, they're free until February 1, 2009. FREE. Anyone who wants anything from this huge archive, essentially representing the history of science since the dawn of the Enlightenment, can get whatever they want for nothing, nada, zip.
This is a huge deal. Access to the Royal Society's archives is not cheap. I suggest that you start searching the archives for whatever it is that interests you and downloading it. I know that I am.
Go to the Royal Society journals and get your hands on everything you can!
