Sources for the History of Modern Astrophysics Project records, 1977-1981.
Records include correspondence with libraries, observatories, and individuals relating to the microfilming and preservation of records and personal papers. Also included are inventories (some preliminary and others completed),and lists of collections surveyed and/or filmed. Information gathered on people interviewed is in the Library's oral history working files.
From 1976 through 1980 the Center conducted a project to document the history of modern astronomy and astrophysics, conducting some 400 hours of oral history interviews, microfilming the papers of a number of astronomers, and helping observatories to preserve their records. The oral histories and microfilms are now a part of the Niels Bohr Library's collections. The project was led by Spencer R. Weart with David DeVorkin.
