The Linda Hall Library is the world’s foremost independent research library devoted to science, engineering, and technology. CRL and the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering, and Technology created a strategic partnership in 2012 to preserve and develop historical research collections in the fields of science, technology and engineering.
The collections covered by the partnership include current and back issues of over 50,000 journal titles acquired and maintained by CRL and Linda Hall over the years. These include print serials from Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, and other publishers; historical serials published by the Russian Academy of Sciences and other learned societies in Europe, Asia, and the U.S.; foreign serials in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering received through the Library of Congress Cooperative Acquisition Program; engineering specifications, technical reports, standards and other publications of U.S. and foreign government agencies; and other retrospective serials held by CRL and Linda Hall.
Linda Hall Library includes the print library collection of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, acquired in 1946, part of the library of the Franklin Institute, acquired in 1985, and the Engineering Societies Library (ESL), from a 1995 transfer.
The combined CRL and Linda Hall STE print serials are available electronically to CRL libraries through on-demand digitization and traditional document delivery.
