Digitized minutes of Royal Society meetings taken between 1686 and 1711

This is now possible, as we are excited to announce that we have just digitised five volumes of the draft minutes of Royal Society meetings taken for Hans Sloane between 1686 and 1711; there’s a full list of the contents at the end of this article. The bulk of the manuscripts appear to have been compiled by, or on behalf of, Hans Sloane, who served as Secretary of the Royal Society from 1693 to 1713, and was later President (1727-1741). We specifically chose to digitise Hans Sloane’s draft minute books as there are several online digital projects (listed below) which already relate to Sloane’s activities.
