American Institute of Physics. Center for History of Physics
AIP CHP grant proposals, 1961-1986.
Includes grant proposals and supporting documentation and research from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Center for History of Physics. Funding sources include the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others. Projects proposed include the Niels Bohr Library catalog; documentation of postwar physics; history of astrophysics; the Einstein centennial project; biography of Henry Norris Russell; history of solid state physics; Moments of Discovery project; Niels Bohr centennial project; and the documentation of multi-institutional collaborations.
The Center for History and Philosophy of Physics was established as a division of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) in 1965 by the joining of the AIP's Project on the History of Recent Physics in the United States (started in 1961) and the AIP Niels Bohr Library for History of Physics (opened in 1962). Its purpose is to aid in the efforts of the scholarly community to document, investigate, and understand the nature and origin of developments in 20th century physics and their impact on society. In 1972 the name was changed to the Center for History of Physics.
