The NIH Library recently established access to the new Nature archive, which extends back to 1869 and covers 417,000 full-text articles published in 384 volumes.
The first issue in the archive is Volume One, Number One from November 4, 1869. It opens with an editorial by T.H. Huxley titled "Nature: Aphorisms by Goethe."
To access Nature from 1869 to the present, go to the "Research Tools" option on the tool bar at the top of the page, select "Online Journals," and move through the list to the Nature entry. A link to the archive also appears in the Online Catalog record for Nature.
