The Cor­nell Uni­ver­sity Library His­tor­i­cal Math Mono­graphs Col­lec­tion has a rather inter­est­ing his­tory. The col­lec­tion began when a num­ber of brit­tle and decay­ing math mono­graphs were dig­i­tally scanned using equip­ment devel­oped by Cor­nell and the Xerox Cor­po­ra­tion. This col­lec­tion brings together all of those doc­u­ments, includ­ing a selec­tion of other rel­e­vant papers and schol­arly works. All told, there are over 1,000 works here, and vis­i­tors can use the “Browse” sec­tion to look over the offer­ings by title or author. Addi­tion­ally, vis­i­tors can per­form detailed searches across the entire col­lec­tion. Vis­i­tors should also take a look at the “Selected Titles” on the home­page to get a sense of what lies within this rather com­pelling col­lec­tion. Finally, there is a “Help” sec­tion that pro­vides some hints on mak­ing the best use of the site.”
