David Rittenhouse Inglis papers, 1929-2003 (bulk 1946-1980).
The papers of David R. Inglis offer a perspective on the life and career of a theoretical physicist who grew from early involvement in the Manhattan Project to become a committed critic of nuclear weaponry and nuclear power. Although the collection is fragmentary, it includes the majority of Inglis' scientific publications and his published contributions to public affairs, as well as selected subject files, course notes, and lab notes. The weight of the collection falls primarily on Inglis' later career, with an emphasis upon his work in arms control and alternative energy. Among the collection's highlights are copies of notes distributed at Los Alamos University in 1945-1946, including Teller and Konopinski on quantum mechanics and Schiff and Baroody on statistical mechanics; Inglis' notes from his work at Argonne National Laboratories; and a six part oral history conducted with Inglis in 1989, looking back at his career.
