"Science Classic is the NEWLY digitized fulltext archive of Science from AAAS featuring the collection of issues 1880–1996. It's the perfect complement to Science Online which covers 1997-today. Most important, Science Classic is fully integrated with the current content of Science Online making it easier to search the entire collection.

Each article allows dynamic linking to: other Science articles across the complete collection, over 900 HighWire hosted journals providing access to thousands of articles, and finally the primary source or other databases through PubMed, CrossRef/DOI, and ISI Web of Science. As a result, Science Classic articles provide the end users with a new, more powerful searching tool and the flexible retrieval capabilities they’re used to.

From cover to cover, every page of the back issue file prior to 1997 has been scanned as a high-resolution PDF which offers the sharpest and highest quality text possible. The PDF files have been optimized for fast web transmission and excellent print quality. Each article is a fully searchable PDF."
