| Jul 16, 2020 at 4:23 | comment | added | KConrad | Earlier volumes of Doklady back to 1933 are listed online at catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000053018 but the volumes can only be searched by keyword. | |
| Jul 16, 2020 at 3:43 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @KConrad: this appeared recently, thanks for noticing. Still the first 111 volumes are not available. Hope they will do all volumes it eventually. | |
| Jul 16, 2020 at 3:40 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @erz: I can give you one reason: reading old mathematics is difficult and requires highest qualification. People who have it prefer to spend their time more productively: by proving their own theorems:-) | |
| Jul 16, 2020 at 3:07 | comment | added | erz | Why isn't there an effort to survey this old mathematics to prevent it from vanishing? I don't think the texts as such are all that valuable, it's the ideas that are there. | |
| Jul 16, 2020 at 2:11 | comment | added | KConrad | You say Doklady is not digitized. It is available for the period 1957-1995 at mathnet.ru/php/… | |

| Jul 15, 2020 at 22:16 | comment | added | Francois Ziegler | My first comment, linked word “available”. Search the list there for “Göttingen”. One of the links seems broken but here it is again, fixed. | |
| Jul 15, 2020 at 22:14 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | The links you provided even do not contain the word "Göttingen". | |
| Jul 15, 2020 at 22:09 | comment | added | Francois Ziegler | Well, the link leads to a list where everything from Göttingen seems available (GDZ). Likewise Leipzig (babel, wikisource). | |
| Jul 15, 2020 at 21:58 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | Most German "provincial" journals (which have names beginning with Sitzungsberichte, Abhandlungen, etc. are not digitalized, even the famous one published in Gottingen). And this is only one example. The famous Russian journal Doklady of the Academy is not digitalized. We only have translations for few years when it was translated. | |
| Jul 15, 2020 at 21:12 | comment | added | Francois Ziegler | I”m not sure I agree on your 18-19 centuries assessment. Most everything to 1850 or 1900 is scanned and available in archives like numdam, gallica, hathitrust, biodiversity, archive.org that seem safe even if Google books were to shut down. After 1950 or so is another matter with, anyway, a much reduced signal/noise. | |
