The SciPer Project of the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield is
delighted to announce the publication of the first instalment of
/Science in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical: An Electronic Index/,
which is issued by hriOnline and is *freely available* at
_http://www.sciper.org_.



The /SciPer// Index/ provides a scholarly synopsis of the material
relating to science, technology, and medicine appearing in eight (soon
to be increased to sixteen) general periodicals published in Britain
between 1800 and 1900. With entries describing around 7,500 articles
(doubling to more than 15,000 when complete), and with references to
over 5,500 individuals, 2,000 publications, and 1,000 institutions, it
provides an invaluable research tool for scholars interested in the
representation of science and in the interpenetration of science and
literature in nineteenth-century Britain, as well as for all students of
the period. The second instalment will be published in May. The
journals indexed in the first instalment include selected years from the
/Academy, /the /Boy's Own Paper, /the /Comic Annual, /the /Cornhill
Magazine, /the /English//woman's Domestic Magazine, Harper's New Monthly
Magazine, Punch, /and/ /the /Review of Reviews./



The electronic index complements the three books recently published by
the SciPer team:



/Science in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical: Reading the Magazine of
Nature, /by Geoffrey Cantor, Gowan Dawson, Graeme Gooday, Richard
Noakes, Sally Shuttleworth, and Jonathan R. Topham (Cambridge University
Press, 2004).



/Culture and Science in the Nineteenth-Century Media, /ed. by Louise
Henson /et al/ (Ashgate, 2004).



/Science Serialized: Representations of the Sciences in
Nineteenth-Century Periodicals/, ed. by Geoffrey Cantor and Sally
Shuttleworth (MIT Press, 2004).
