American Institute of Physics. Center for History of Physics
AIP Center for History of Physics National Science Foundation grants, 1961-1972.
Includes grant proposals and supporting documentation from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Center for History of Physics. The proposals are for funding from the National Science Foundation, and projects include the recent history of physics in the United States, the historical development of nuclear physics and quantum physics.
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 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.
