Old historic journal articles digitized online

In summary, France's national library has digitized all old volumes of Comptes Rendus, making them accessible to anyone. The library also includes later volumes that were split into separate subjects, as well as earlier volumes from when it was called Memoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Poland also has a virtual science library where users can download original math articles and textbooks. It is unknown if Britain, Russia, Germany, or the US have done similar things with their old journals. However, it would be beneficial for anyone to have access to historic science articles and other cultural materials. The Göttingen State and University Library also has a digitized collection, including an issue where Caratheodory introduces his extension theorem for measure

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:

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

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.

old issues of the gottingen nachrichten
http://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/en/dms/load/toc/?IDDOC=52585

such as the one where caratheodory introduces his extension theorem (re: measure theory)
http://gdz-srv1.sub.uni-goettingen.de/gcs/gcs?&&action=pdf&metsFile=PPN252457811_1914&divID=log55&pdfTitlePage=http://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/en/dms/load/pdftitle/?metsFile=PPN252457811_1914%7C&targetFileName=PPN252457811_1914_log55.pdf&

& it's on the gottingen state & university library web page. looks like when they digitize new stuff they add it in the bottom right
