AIP Center for History of Physics Geophysics Project records, 1987-1992.
Files from the History of Geophysics Project, including survey responses and correspondence. The intention of this survey was for the Center for the History of Physics and the American Geophysical Union to survey active geophysicists, and identify possible archival collections and oral histories that might be procured by the center in order to preserve the history of geophysics in the United States.
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.
