ILEJ, the "Internet Library of Early Journals" was a joint project by the Universities of Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Oxford, conducted under the auspices of the eLib (Electronic Libraries) Programme. It aimed to digitise substantial runs of 18th and 19th century journals, and make these images available on the Internet, together with their associated bibliographic data. The project finished in 1999, and no additional material will be added. See Final Report for conclusions of the project.
The core collection for the project are runs of at least 20 consecutive years of:
Three 18th-century journals Three 19th-century journals
Gentleman's Magazine
The Annual Register
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society
Notes and Queries
The Builder
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine

The Society provides high quality forums for discussion of drug research among all disciplines, and on this occasion we have decided to make one of our symposia available (free!) to the scientific community worldwide by featuring our program online. Visitors to the Webcast will be able to hear each speaker's voice synchronised with the complete set of slides, graphics and photographs. Viewers can access the presentations by going to the Webcast page and clicking on the audio icon.

Welcome to the H-Environment web site, a gateway to information concerning past human interactions with nature. Part of H-NET, the Humanities & Social Sciences OnLine initiative, H-Environment is supported by organizations of professional historians.

PURPOSE:  HISTNEUR-L is an Internet forum for exchanging information on any aspect of the History of Neuroscience. It includes announcements, inquiries and discussion on access to historical sources and their use and interpretation.

AUDIENCE:  Membership is open to anyone interested in neuroscience history, including but by no means limited to historians, scientists, students, instructors, curators, publishers, archivists and librarians. The listserv is maintained for the benefit of the International Society for the History of the Neurosciences (ISHN), but is open to all (anyone with an e-mail account and an interest in the subject is welcomed).

H-LIS ran from Sep. 24, 1997 to Apr 4, 2000. Its archives are available here.
H-LIS was interested in the interdisciplinary study of libraries and information broadly construed to include literacy and reading, print culture, libraries and archives, computerization and automation, information retrieval and documentation, and electronic information and communication.

The International Society for the History of Medicine (ISHM) was founded in Paris in 1921. The purpose of the Society is to assist and support the historical study of all questions relating to the medical and biomedical sciences and, more generally, to all branches of the healing arts. French and English are its two official languages. Specifically, the Society seeks to improve communication between individuals and professional groups throughout the world interested in these disciplines to promote the teaching and spread knowledge on these topics. The Society sponsors and oversees the organization of biannual international congresses in the history of medicine.

The aim of this page is to bring together people from all over the world who are interested in the archives of science, technology and medicine. STAMA International (a sub group of the International Council on Archives) and STAMA Australia (a special interest group of the Australian Society of Archivists) are currently the key participants in this community. The key communication tool for the community is the STAMA Email List.

This website was developed through an initiative of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to encourage resources for digitization of, and access to, late 20th century developments (history) in science and technology. It is the aim of the History Committee of the Society for Neuroscience (SFN) to identify and develop more detailed accounts of the full range of topics that will likely be of interest and value to future historians.

Joseph Dalton Hooker was arguably the most important British botanist of the nineteenth century. A traveller and plant-collector, he was one of Charles Darwin’s closest friends and eventually became director of Britain’s Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The image on the left shows the house in Halesworth, Suffolk, where Hooker was born in 1817. A plaque (inset) commemorates the fact.
These pages are intended to provide some basic information about Joseph Hooker
