This service provides access to all published articles for the current 10 years, in the Institute of Physics journals that the Libraries subscribes to.

Selected Papers of Great American Physicists
Seven physicists are featured: Benjamin Franklin, Joseph Henry, Albert Michelson, Henry Rowland, Josiah Gibbs, Robert Millikan, and Arthur Compton. For each scientist there is a biography and one or more important papers.
The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein (digital edition)
A joint project of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University Press, and Tizra (publishing platform), this website provides online access to the Einstein papers. It is the same as the print edition and includes writings and correspondence. The Science Library also has them in print: QC16.E5 A2 1987.
Albert Einstein Archives
A joint project of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the California Institute of Technology, it provides access to Einstein's scientific and non-scientific writings. It includes digitized manuscripts, a finding aid, and an archival database containing approximately 80,000 records of Einstein and Einstein related documents.
