Notes and Records at 75
This year, Notes and Records celebrates the 75th
anniversary of its launch.
The first issue of Notes and Records appeared in April
1938. Early on, it began to include ‘information of historical interest’.
Gradually, historical contributions came to outweigh announcements of meetings
and news of elections and other Society business, and for some years now the
journal has welcomed articles on all aspects and all periods of the history of
science, including the history of technology and medicine, whether or not the
Royal Society and its Fellows have been involved.
As part of the celebrations, editorial board members
will be selecting their favourite articles from Notes and Records.
The first article has been selected by Robert Fox:
