Crew, Henry, 1859-1953
Henry Crew papers [microform], 1833-1967, (bulk 1880-1940).
Collection is primarily professional correspondence (1880s-1930s) between Crew and physicists, astronomers, and other colleagues documenting his work as a professor and scientist. The largest portion of the correspondence reflects his professional social obligations: letters of introduction, invitations to conferences, notes of recognition and thanks for the same. There is also much correspondence on the current state of a particular scientific inquiry with discussions of experiments in solar research and instrumentation, collaborative work in publishing texts and sharing materials, and opinions solicited and given on candidates for various academic and administrative posts. Also contains some family correspondence mainly between Crew and his sister Caroline, and Crew and his son William Henry, on a wide range of domestic and family matters; and a small amount of clippings and printed matter. Correspondents include Joseph Sweetman Ames, John Alfred Brashear, George Ellery Hale, Albert Abraham Michelson, Robert Andrews Millikan, Henry A. Rowland, Ernest Rutherford, Arthur Gordon Webster, and Robert William Wood.
