Classic Papers from the History of Chemistry is an online repository of primary source documents maintained by the ChemTeam, a US organisation. The material : eighty documents are provided, arranged in chronological order (with a few pieces from the prehistory of chemistry including extracts from Paracelsus, but the material is primarily of nineteenth- or early-to-mid twentieth-century origin). Featured texts include: Volta’s work on the battery; Davy and Faraday on new elements; Joule on the mechanical equivalent of heat; Rutherford, Geiger and Marsden on the nucleus; Bohr on atomic structure; Chadwick on the neutron, and Meitner and Frisch on nuclear fission. Most of the articles are provided as transcripts, but some are facsimile images and pagination is not recorded.
