The RSC Journals Archive contains all articles published by the RSC (and its forerunner societies) from 1841 (the first issue of Memoirs and Proceedings of the Chemical Society) to 2004. The backfile contains approximately 238,000 articles in 1,400,000 pages.

The articles are available via issue contents lists. They are also accessible from full-text searches of the PDF files and by more specific searches of the bibliographic information and (from 1966 to 2004) abstract. A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) has been assigned to each article. This allows the DOI to be used as another access route to the article.
In addition, the references in the 1990-1996 articles contain "reference links" to full text and CAS abstracts, where available, similar to that already offered for the 1997-2004 articles.
