Own a piece of scientific history
By Crobar in Neurognosis
October 16, 2007

Or at least a scanned electronic version of one.  What am I talking about?  Well one of the world's oldest scientific societies, the Royal Society has made available some of its notable papers. They include papers by Newton, Crick and Watson, Edmond Stone's discovery of salicylic acid (used in aspirin), Stephen Hawking's first published paper, Ben Franklin's kite experiment, and a paper telling of the wonders of an 8-year-old musician (Mozart).

So if you dig stuff like this, it's worth checking out.
