The Humbul Humanities Hub's strategy for building collections of Internet resource descriptions contributes to the achievement of our mission which is to provide an online environment in which the UK humanities community can access and use evaluated digital resources for teaching and research purposes.
The Humbul Humanities Hub is a service that collects and evaluates humanities websites in order to assist scholars in using these resources. Its History and Philosophy of Science category includes almost 1000 sites divided into six subgroups: projects/organizations, primary sources, secondary sources, research related, teaching and learning, and bibliographic sources. The sites can also be sorted by period and by target audience. Humbul is also searchable for more specific queries.
This site has biographies of women who contributed to our culture in many different ways. There are writers, educators, scientists, heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers, and others. Some were alive hundreds of years ago and some are living today. We've heard of some of them, while many more have been ignored by history book writers. I'd like to acknowledge as many as I can.
This text only, one-page site is simply a list of over 50 women (many born in before the twentieth century) in the history of engineering and Web sites that contain biographical information about them and their work. Several entries contain more than one link. At the bottom of the page is a link to an educational site on the history of women in engineering that is far more extensive than this site. There are no images or biographical material on this site, just links.
The Chemical Heritage Foundation serves the community of the chemical and molecular sciences and the wider public by treasuring the past, educating the present, and inspiring the future.
In fulfillment of our mission, this site offers many tools for the researcher, the student, and those who want to explore and discover how chemical and molecular science has changed the world we live in.
An excellent starting point for researches interested in the history of chemistry. The site contains catalogs for the documentary and image archives, oral history collection, and special exhibits of the Chemical Heritage Foundation. The site also offers biographical and historical capsules, organized by subject, which can be accessed through interactive portraits and timelines. Additionally, several of the Foundation's exhibits are presented online on subjects such as women in chemistry and a pictorial exhibit of early batteries. The Chronology of Chemical Information Science presents a comprehensive timeline tracing how communication about chemistry has changed over time. There are also a number of educational tools and sites for younger students. An excellent and comprehensive site for discovering historical aspects of chemistry.
We believe in the power of history to enrich the present and enlighten the future by providing people a setting to grow as individuals and as community members. MOHAI is the definitive place for everyone with a passion, curiosity, or question about the history of Seattle and King County since 1850.

This text-only site contains mostly administrative and publication information, such as how to join the Division of History of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society and a roster of officers. Most notable for scholars are the tables of contents of the Bulletin for the History of Chemistry going back to 1988. There are also lists of those who have received awards for their historical scholarship from the American Chemical Society, and a list of about a dozen links to other sites on the history of chemisty and the history of science in general. The site also allows visitors to examine the titles of papers and symposia at upcoming meetings of the ACS.
The Einstein Archives Online Website provides the first online access to Albert Einstein’s scientific and non-scientific manuscripts held by the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and to an extensive Archival Database, constituting the material record of one of the most influential intellects in the modern era.

The Chemical Heritage Foundation was founded twenty years ago by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) to promote public understanding of chemistry, chemical engineering and their uses. This site is the home page for the organization, and mostly covers administrative elements and publicity. The Foundation does maintain a historical library in Philadelphia, and the site links to that library's online catalog of materials. In addition, the Foundation runs the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry, which gives grants, awards and lectures. Moreover, the Beckman Center has conducted over 270 oral history interviews with chemists and has posted abstracts of those interviews on the site. The abstracts include short biographies of the subjects, and include forms to order full transcripts from the Foundation.
The Museum of the Oxford University's History of Science houses an unrivalled collection of historic scientific instruments in the world's oldest surviving purpose-built museum building, the Old Ashmolean on Broad Street, Oxford. By virtue of the collection and the building, the Museum occupies a special position, both in the study of the history of science and in the development of western culture and collecting.
This is the home page for Oxford University's Museum of the History of Science. An overview provides a sense of the museum's collection, and a paragraph describes its history (and the history of the building it is housed in) since 1683. There are seven excellent online exhibits with numerous graphics and photographs, including pieces on the history of photography, mathematics and astronomy. All are composed for a lay audience. For researchers, a remarkable searchable database of over 13,000 objects allows visitors to find and view artifacts in the museum's collection. These objects span the entire history of science and technology, and many of them are extremely rare. Another section of the site features some of the best portraits, instruments and illustrations in the archive.
Welcome to the pages of the Australian Mining History Association. We are a young organisation, having been founded and incorporated in 1995. The impetus for formation of the Association came from those attending the International Mining History Conference at Golden, Colorado, in 1994 who realised that it was time to form an organisation that catered for mining historians in Australia. It was also felt that there were people present who would welcome the opportunity to keep in touch and to meet in-between the four year intervals that divided the International meetings. Subsequently, the void was filled and we have steadily built up our membership to over 150, with a scattering of international representatives among that number. To date our activities have involved the publication of quarterly newsletters, the running of eight national conferences, the publication of a 320 page 'Bibliography of the Mining History of Australia, New Zealand & Papua New Guinea', and also publication of Conference Proceedings. From 2-6 July 2003, we will hold our Ninth National Conference at Broken Hill, and the first edition of our projected mining history journal will be published in 2003.
This is a relatively new association with a growing membership. The Association's site has a list of the members of the organization and a back list of newsletters, most of them reprinted online. A form allows prospective members to join. Most significant for non-members and researchers in the history of mining is a fairly exhaustive 1998 bibliography of Australian mining history. There are general references as well as more specific references for the different regions of Australia.
