The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a not-for-profit membership corporation chartered in New York State in 1931 for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. Its members are leading societies in the fields of physics and astronomy, and its activities include providing services to its member societies in publishing, finance, and education. In recognition of the increasing role which educational projects played in the American Institute of Physics, a formal Education Department was established in 1958. It was joined with the AIP program on manpower in 1961, forming the Education and Manpower Division. In 1971 education and manpower became separate entities again.
The collection contains miscellaneous publications printed by the American Institute of Physics Education and Manpower division for the public, and include directories, pamphlets, brochures, reports, and newsletters on various education and career topics. Includes Sigma Pi Sigma Radiations (1987-2015) and Society of Physics Students Observer (1968-2015) newsletters.
