The New York Academy of Sciences Digital Archive

The archive of The New York Academy of Sciences (spanning 210 years, from 1803 to 2013) encapsulates the history and development of natural science, technology, modern biomedical sciences, and educational engagement across the life span, while also documenting anti-intellectual sentiments — irrespective of national borders — toward science and scientists, providing a rich activist history of the pursuit of fact-based reasoning as well as equality and freedom from oppression.
