Physics Today : With help from a £1.5 million donation from Leonard Polonsky, a financial services billionaire, Cambridge University plans to digitize and make available online some of its most scientifically and historically important documents. Newton’s own annotated copy of his Philosophae Naturalis Principia Mathematica will be among the first to appear. Further donations could see the digitization of the papers of James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Rayleigh, and other Cambridge physicists.
