History of Physics Library

MEMBERS of the physics community who may wish to do so are invited to contribute books documenting the development and growth of physics to be placed in the American Institute of Physics’ Niels Bohr Library of the History of Physics. The library will contain some archive materials, such as original manuscripts and notebooks of prominent physicists, as well as a general collection of books concerning the history and philosophy of physics. The Institute will welcome the donation of any books which would be of interest to a historian of science or to a physicist and which would help create, enhance, and strengthen a collection intended to serve not only physicists but all concerned with the role of physics in society and in man’s material and intellectual culture. Collected works and classics of physics, including those of the twentieth century, would be of particular interest.
