The AIP in 1981

JUL 01, 1982
The Annual Report describes the first year of a new era of electronic composition and a year of celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Institute.
Physics Today

1981 was a year of celebration marking the 50th anniversary of AIP’s founding. It was also a year marking a transition after 50 years of print publishing. It was the first full, productive year of electronic composition. With publishing operations now concentrated in Woodbury on Long Island, activities in the headquarters building in New York City focus on member‐related services. AIP’s successful two‐site operation, the new emphasis on member‐related services, and special commemorative events throughout this anniversary year are detailed in this Annual Report.
