What formats are available for viewing an article from the Article Archive published between 1851 and 1980?
A free, full abstract or text preview is available for almost every article. It contains the bibliographic information for the selected article and the word count. From this free preview, you may decide to purchase the full article. Articles are imaged and stored in PDF files, which can be viewed in Adobe Acrobat Reader. We’ve used Acrobat Reader because it’s a free and commonly available application, and because it has versatile functionality. The whole article appears on a single screen, even if parts continued on later pages in the original issue. All the accompanying illustrations are there, too. The citation that appears on the article will print with the images. Since the article is displayed as an image, the text is not searchable within Adobe Acrobat Reader.
