American Institute of Physics. Education and Manpower Division.
AIP Education and Manpower Division records, 1940-1973 (bulk 1953-1964).
Primarily correspondence and reports (with surveys and responses used in preparing reports) documenting the programs and studies of this American Institute of Physics (AIP) division. Projects include the Visiting Scientists Program for high school and college, the Study of Apparatus for the Teaching of Physics, and the Apparatus Drawing Project. Also contains materials pertaining to the publications of the division, such as bibliographies of faculty at various U.S institutions used in the preparation of the publication, GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY; correspondence with the American Association of Physics Teachers primarily concerning co-sponsored projects; correspondence and other records on conferences, women in physics, and the placement of physicists; and booklets and pamphlets on careers. In addition, the collection also has subject files on science education brought to the AIP by William C. Kelly when he became head of the division.
In recognition of the increasing role which educational projects played in the American Institute of Physics (AIP), a formal Education Department was established in 1958. It was joined with the AIP program on manpower in 1961, forming the Education and Manpower Division. In 1971 education and manpower became separate entities again.
