The Guardian newspaper has an interesting story today about the launch of the digitised archive of the Board of Longitude at Cambridge University Library, which contains the work of former astronomers, letters and papers of artisans, inventors, expeditionary astronomers and maritime explorers.
The full story is at www.guardian.co.uk/science/the-h-word/2013/jul/18/navigating-science-board-longitude-archive.
