France's national library has digitized all the old volumes of Comptes Rendus, so now anyone can get all the historic math, science, etc articles:
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb...des+séances+de+l'Académie+des+Sciences.langEN
later volumes are also available, after it was split up into separate subjects, and earlier ones too, from when it was called memoires de l'academie des sciences
there's a Polish virtual science library also, so now anyone can download the original fund math articles by the polish math crew (sierpinski, banach, kuratowski, & friends), old monografie matematyczne textbooks, etc
http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/
has britain, russia, germany or the US done similar things with their old journals? it would be cool if anyone could get at historic science articles, or anything else I guess. i think it makes sense that a national library would do something like that, since it's a cultural sort of thing.
