Posted to our household list, and I thought I'd share. You probably all know
this already, but I'm trying to be helpy. <smile>

Royal Society's archive is free on the internet

(Filed: 15/09/2006)

The Royal Society has made every paper submitted to it since 1665
available free of charge on the internet, opening one of the
greatest storehouses of scientific knowledge to the public.

Readers will be able to browse through countless papers of
incalculable historical importance, including Halley's description
of his comet, Watson and Crick's unravelling of the double helix
structure of DNA and the first paper published by Stephen Hawking.

Prof Martin Taylor, the Royal Society's vice-president, said the
archive documents "the foundation of the modern scientific method".
He added: "It puts you in touch with the great scientific masters in
a really direct way."

The archive, at www.journals.royalsoc.ac.uk, will only be available
free until December.
