The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 8.5 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through highly customizable query forms, and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed or searched via our full-text search interface. The Scanned Historical Literature Service provides access to Bulletins and other Historical Observatory Publications digitized by ADS.

A collection of publicly available physics and astronomy online resources selected by Library of Congress staff. Attention: some full-text content of selected databases may be restricted to subscribers and/or subscribing institutions.

The École Français D'Extrême-Orient Khmer Manuscript collection is a database containing over 1,000 searchable digitized manuscripts from Cambodia. These manuscripts have been collected from over 1,000 monasteries across Cambodia. The languages include Khmer and Pali. The manuscripts are categorized into 25 different categories including law, astronomy, histories, novels, magic, philosophy, proverbs and many Buddhist subjects.

SpringerMaterials provides curated data and advanced functionalities to support research in materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering, and other related fields. Based on the 400-volume Landolt-Börnstein New Series, SpringerMaterials is an extensive collection of fully evaluated physical and chemical property data for engineers and physical scientists. SpringerMaterials includes thermophysical properties of common components and mixtures; a data collection on inorganic solid phases, covering crystallographic data, phase diagrams, diffraction patterns, and physical properties; and a collection of chemical safety documents.
