Breit, Gregory, 1899-1981
Gregory Breit selected papers [microform], (bulk 1950-1973).
Correspondence consisting of Breit's outgoing letters, and letters received from individuals and representatives of government agencies, academic institutions, professional associations and scholarly societies, journals, and conferences and symposia. Diaries which contain brief notations of professional activities; notebooks which contain entries relating to Breit's lectures and courses; notes pertaining to conferences and meetings Breit attended; and calculations and related notations. The bulk of the correspondence dates from the 1950s through 1973 and is of a professional rather than personal nature. While there is correspondence dating from the years of World War II within the series, Breit never took possession of his wartime files, which were classified. Correspondents include Saraj N. Gupta, McAllister H. Hull, Jr., Allan C. G. Mitchell, H. Pierre Noyes, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Moti L. Rustgi, Edward Teller, Merle A. Tuve, John A. Wheeler, and Eugene P. Wigner. Institutions represented include the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Research Council, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory, and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
