Publishing on 19 May, a collection created by Wiley Digital Archives in partnership with Jisc and the British Science Association, has accumulated more than 930,000 pages of scientific archive material.
For the first time researchers, teachers and students can access digitally more than 90% of the British Association for the Advancement of Science - Collections on the History of Science (1830s-1970s).
Free to Jisc members and affiliates, the move to digitise this collection, much of which was previously unpublished, began in 2020, when leading UK university libraries and archives were invited to put forward their archives. This was the first time they had an opportunity to influence a commercial publisher’s decisions about what to digitise.
