Everett Hurlburt, astronomer and physicist, was born in Cleveland, Ohio on May 6, 1910. He graduated from Western Reserve University with a B.A. in physics in 1933, followed by an M.A. from Harvard University in 1934 and a PhD from Ohio State University in 1940. He has worked as a physicist for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (1942-1947); in the Microwave Standards Section of the National Bureau of Standards (1947-1950); in the Electromagnetic Division of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory (1951-1959); in the Electronics Branch of the Office of Naval Research (1959-1963); and as program director for the Astronomy Section of the National Science Foundation (1963-1970).
Everett Hurlburt was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Sigma Pi Sigma, American Physical Society, American Astronomical Society, American Astronautical Society, Washington Philosophical Society and Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
The papers of the Everett Hurlburt are comprised mostly of reprints by Hurlburt and others, scientific notes and records concerning his international travel for the National Science Foundation in the 1960s. The collection includes photographs, manuscripts, lecture notes, memoranda, press releases and certificates as well as a scrapbook on radio compiled by Hurlburt. This collection also contains correspondence - mainly letters to his family while a student at Harvard University. The focus of the collection is radio astronomy.
