Lamb, Willis E. (Willis Eugene), 1913-2008
Willis E. Lamb Jr. papers, 1937-2007.
This collection mostly covers the latter portion of Willis Lamb's professional life (late 1970s to the mid 1990s) and relates mostly to a computational physics project, but also quantum mechanics, quantum measurement, Ising structure, the Duffing Equation, laster isotope seperation and others. Of special note is a collection of correspondence, in the form of printed out emails, between Willis Lamb, Bruria Kaufman and a few others in 1993 when email and internet access were in their infancy. There are nearly daily messeges that recount both personal and professional subjects. Additionally there is a draft biography of Richard Feynman by an unknown author, a large painting of Willis Lamb, and several commemorative objects. Almost half of the collection is comprised of digital media, mostly in obsolete forms. Many of these are computer disks with very scant identification such as "T1" or "ARC". The earliest materials in the collection, 1937-1970, are part of the Ursula Lamb materials described in Series VI. These account for about a carton and a half of materials or (1.5 linear feet). The focus is on her research, publications and correspondence related to her various teaching positions.
