Scientific paper

One major part of the ADS is to provide access to the full text of the historical astronomical literature. We have already on-line all major journals and many smaller journals back to volume 1. We currently have scanned over 30 journals as well as many conference proceedings. Another important part of the literature are observatory publications. The ADS is collaborating with the Wolbach Library at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in a project to microfilm the historical observatory publications. We are scanning these microfilms and make the scans available through the ADS. We currently have over 130,000 pages from over 30 observatory publications on-line. In order to fully utilize these scans we need help in collecting meta data for these publications. if you are willing to help us with this task please contact the first author at gei@cfa.harvard.edu. The ADS is funded by NASA Grant NCC5-189
