The Center for History and Philosophy of Physics was established as a division of the American Institute of Physics in 1965 by the joining of the AIP's Project on the History of Recent Physics in the United States, which was started in 1961, and the Niels Bohr Library for History of Physics, which had opened in 1962. Its purpose is to aid in the efforts of scientists, historians, and archivists to document, investigate, and understand the nature and origin of developments in 20th century physics and their impact on society. In 1972 the name was changed to the Center for History of Physics.
The collection contains miscellaneous publications printed by the American Institute of Physics' Center for History of Physics, and includes newsletters, pamphlets, brochures, catalogs, marketing materials and booklets for the Center for History of Physics, Niels Bohr Library & Archives, and the Emilio Segre Visual Archives. The collection includes a full run of the AIP History Newsletter from 1964-current.
