The History of Science Collections of the University of Oklahoma Libraries, located on the 5th floor of Bizzell Memorial Library, is one of the premier research collections in its field. Holdings of nearly 100,000 volumes from every field and subject area of science, technology and medicine range chronologically from Hrabanus Maurus,Opus de universo (1467) to current publications in the history of science. The Galileo and Darwin collections illustrate the capacity of the holdings to support research:
