Who was Robert Hooke and what is his connection to the Royal Society?

[San Diego Sarah]

I have been led to think you are the proud owners of the Robert Hooke folio concerning the early years of the Royal Society. I'm looking around so I can join in.

Welcome to PF!

Just to make sure we can help you as much as possible, make sure you know about the three main sections in PF:

1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.

I assure you that you will have a great time here.

With regards,
Wrichik.

Yeah, but how did PF became "... the proud owners of the Robert Hooke folio ...", resulting in the OP "looking around" so that he/she can join in? Do I need more coffee this morning?

I think someone misled you. We here at Physics Forums don't own that, and some of us didn't even know there was such a thing.

You weren't alone, ZZ.

Even I didn't know about that. Searched on Google, and thought that the OP might be sarcastic.
