Pauling Research Notebooks Now Available Online 9
nickynicky9doors writes "The notebooks of Linus Pauling, the only person to have won two unshared nobel prizes (chemistry in 1954 and Peace in 1962) are coming online. Oregon State University has
a sample of the notebooks now available with the remainder to be up by Feb.28, this year. Don't forget to take your vitamin C :-)" Looks like they are about a third of the way though. They should have started at the beginning so we could better appreciate the narrative thread :-)
Chronology (Score:2, Interesting)
Even the ones that are done are not in chronological order - Pauling probably arranged them loosely by subject.
E.g. 35b has entries from 1938-1939, 1946, 1955, 1968 and 1986-1988 and seems to be about a textbook, aluminium and cancer
44 is 1991-1994 and has lots of heavy metal stuff.
46 is 1967-1972 and contains stuff about transition metals and loads of misc stuff.
It's going to take a while to read his handwriting
