History of Science Collection

We're excited to introduce the redesigned repository.ou.edu website, launched in October 2023! This redesign is part of a larger improvement plan, with additional changes coming next year.

We invite you take a moment to share your thoughts about the website through a brief 5 minute survey: repository.ou.edu feedback survey.

Your feedback is vital and will help shape the future of repository.ou.edu.

OU Libraries’ History of Science digital collection began with several hundred 15th- through 18th-century rare books, maps, and other items digitized for the 2015-2016 Galileo’s World exhibition. They range from art, music, astronomy, and meteorology through natural history, the human body, microscopy, physics, and engineering, and on to religion and travels to China and the Americas. All images in the digital collection have been released to the public domain.
