Department of Terrestrial Magnetism instrument and equipment records, 1892-1970 (bulk 1905-1945).
This collection contains administrative records regarding the instruments and equipment created, purchased, tested, or used by the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (DTM) at the Carnegie Institution of Washington (CIW). Although the department was formed in 1904, the dates of the records span 1892 to 1970.
The Department of Terrestrial Magnetism was founded in 1904 to map the geomagnetic field of the Earth. Over the years the research direction shifted, but the historic goal to understand the Earth and its place in the universe has remained the same. Today the department is home to an interdisciplinary team of astronomers and astrophysicists, geophysicists and geochemists, cosmochemists and planetary scientists.
