Bernal's 4 types of scientific archive:

1. ephemeral notices of daily laboratory life, such as accounts of new discoveries, techniques, meetings, and discussions;
   短暫的日常實驗室紀錄，
2. handbooks and popular works on science, relating scientific progress to common human needs and aspirations;
   科普作品與工作手冊
3. ““old-style”” journals, serving the limited purpose of giving the latest news from the world of research and discussing the social impact of scientific discoveries; and
   舊式期刊
4. detailed, comprehensive reports and monographs documenting the advancement of each singular field of science over time as well as the interrelationships of various fields.
