Text materials for documentary film: The world of Enrico Fermi, circa 1930-1968.
Collection consists of the documentation amassed in producing the documentary film. It includes transcripts of the interviews conducted for the film with physicists who worked with Fermi in Rome, at Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and Los Alamos; scripts; research notes; and correspondence. Only a small portion of this material was used in the final version of the 46 minute educational film intended primarily for American high school and college students. Unedited transcripts of filmed interviews with Dr. and Mrs. Harold M. Agnew, Eduardo Amaldi, Herbert Anderson, Hans A. Bethe, John Baudino, Gina Castelnuovo, Owen Chamberlain, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Geoffrey Chew, Laura Fermi, Eugenio Fubini, Samuel A. Goudsmit, David Hawkins, Percival King, Tsung-Dao Lee, John Marshall, Leona Marshall, Dorothy McKibbin, Nicholas Metropolis, Philip Morrison, Norman Nachtrieb, Jay Orear, Isidor I. Rabi, Franco Rasetti, Arthur H. Rosenfeld, Emilio G. Segr,̈ Cyril S. Smith, George L. Weil, and Chen Ning Yang.
The Harvard Project Physics was a curriculum development group based at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. and supported by the United States Office of Education and the National Science Foundation. Its goals were to develop a humanistically oriented physics course by presenting the subject in historical and cultural perspective, help increase high school physics enrollments, and contribute to the knowledge of the factors that influence science learning. "The World of Enrico Fermi" is a documentary film that traces the life of the Italian-born physicist. He left Italy in 1938 due to the rise of facism. He worked on the Manhattan Project, taught at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. Among his theoretical contributions were his theory of beta decay and the realization of a nuclear chain reaction.
