Science, Technology, and Medicine, 1780-1925, Part I is based in large part on the holdings of the internationally renowned research institution the Huntington Library, in San Marino, California. Already in possession of a premier assortment of materials on the history of science, the Huntington Library acquired the Burndy Library in 2006. With more than 67,000 volumes, the Burndy Library enhanced the Huntington's holdings to create one of the world's great repositories on the history of science and technology. Additional materials originate from the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia, and the National Library of Medicine. Taken together, these rare books, journals, and documents constitute an invaluable window into the nature of scientific knowledge in the nineteenth century and are now readily available to scholars everywhere in this user-friendly searchable database.
