Where can I find "transcripts" for pre 1900 scientific demonstrations/observations?

Apologies if this is not the correct forum, but as it touches on pre 1900 documents I figured this would be the most appropriate place to ask.

If not transcripts precisely, I am looking for primary sources on experiments, public demonstrations etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
This is pretty vague - I would suggest trying the universities/labs where these experiments were performed, their archives might contain original documents.

With your request being a bit vague I am not sure what to look for. Any examples in particular?
My apologies, I appreciate that this is vague, but I'm looking for a wide variety of things (any one will do).

In essence, I'm looking for transcripts, or recordings of meetings, minutes etc related to scientific discoveries in the Victorian era. If at all possible, the kind of thing where somebody would present their findings on a stage in front of a collection of other scientists.
 
Okay, so scientific discoveries in the Victorian era...

Would you consider psychology to be scientific? The only reason why I ask is because I have a quite a bit of research material on that subject and access to more.

Yes that would be perfect!
The philosophical transactions of the Royal Society are available online free from 1665 onwards.
That too would be perfect! Do you have a link?
