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. When using images from this collection, please include the following attribution statement: Image(s) courtesy History of Science Collections, University of Oklahoma Libraries, Norman, Oklahoma.
