Landmarks of Science was begun in 1966.

• The plan was to microfilm a quarter million pages every year for 10 years.
• By 1976, the project was complete, with 2.5 million+ pages of books available in microform.

Then the editor found more important works to include; hence, Landmarks II was begun.

• By 1990, the total number of volumes and authors issued had doubled.
• Also, articles from historical scientific journals were included.

Landmarks of Science and Landmarks of Science II

These two sets are a remarkable resource, containing the full text of books about the history of science from the beginning of printing into the early 20th century.

The main languages are English, French, German, Latin, and Italian, and contemporary English translations are included when available.

These sets include

• first editions of famous scientific works
• translations
• works by less famous scientists
• textbooks
• biographies of scientists
• bibliographies

Most of the  Individual Titles in These Sets Are in the Library Catalog

Landmarks

• This set contains monographs (books) *only*
• The library's catalog has individual records for every title of every book in this set (as of Spring 2008)
• This set does not have segment numbers

Landmarks II [Segments 13+]

• This set contains monographs *and* journals, but we own only the monographs
• We own Segments 13 through 56 (as of 3/2009)
• The library catalog contains individual records for every TITLE (not article) of every book and journal through Segment 55 (as of 3/2009)
• Segment 56 is on order, but individual catalog records are not yet available for the items within it

Note: Although all of our Landmarks are microfiche format, some of WorldCat's records list them as being in another microformat. Ignore that; they're really fiche.
