Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information 150 years of British science history from the scientists' perspective Founded in 1831, The British Association for the Advancement of Science embodied the organized, and successful, efforts of the British scientific community to transform science from a self-funded endeavor of the wealthy into a government-funded professional activity at the center of social and economic development. The organization held an annual meeting in a different city every year, at which scientists pioneered on the practice of peer review - presenting new ideas and discoveries, debating them and their theories and publicizing their work - while attracting every significant UK-based scientist of the 19th and 20th century. In 2009, BAAS became the British Science Association (BSA). The new association has expanded on the original mission of putting science at the center of society, culture and education, and is focused on increasing the number, range and diversity of people actively engaged with scientific studies, activities and developments. This archive, which goes from the foundation of BAAS until the 1970s, pre-dates BSA. The rise of British science in the 19th and 20th centuries The British Association for the Advancement of Science - Collections on the History of Science (1830s-1970s) is the ultimate interdisciplinary and interinstitutional archive, comprised of the previously uncatalogued BAAS materials and collections from prestigious British universities, selected by a team of leading History of Science scholars. This is the only archive connecting the works, thoughts and interactions of the most influential scientists of the time, from Darwin to Ramsay, and documenting the history of British science from the 1830s through the 1970s across disciplines and universities. Over ninety percent of the content within this unique archive has never been cataloged or available digitally until now. The materials within document 150 years of scientific discovery, Britain's emergence as a center for science, and provide an insider's perspective that researchers can't get anywhere else. Subjects
