The Case Files Online Exhibit Homepage | The Franklin Institute's Resources for Science Learning This presentation of The Franklin Institute's Case Files highlights individuals from the history of science and technology. It is one of many Resources for Science Learning. Each thematic group of Files presented at left begins with commentary from a distinguished historian of the discipline. About The Case Files The Franklin Institute's Case Files are a unique repository in the history of science and exist as the documentary record of The Franklin Awards program which, since 1824, has recognized outstanding scientific achievement, across all scientific disciplines. Within each Case File is a story, waiting to be told, of scientific enterprise and social circumstances. Likewise, the Institute's annual Awards Week program is a vibrant celebration of scientific enterprise and the scientists at its forefront. About the Committee onScience and the Arts The Franklin Institute's Committee on Science and the Arts (CSA) oversees the Awards program and maintains the Case Files. For K-12 Teachers
