Making the Exhibit: Who and HowEinstein: Image and Impact is based on a 16-panel travelling exhibit designed by the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics for the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey on the occasion of the Einstein Centennial 1879-1979. Expert historians were enlisted to write and check the text, and copies were sent to roughly a thousand sites around the US and abroad in cooperation with the State Humanities Commissions. The exhibit was reformatted for the Web in 1996. Since then additional information about Einstein's life has come to light and has been incorporated in the text, with the advice of leading historians. In 2003-2004 in preparation for the 2005 World Year of Physics and Einstein Great Papers Centennial, the exhibit was reformatted for a better appearance and functionality on current browsers and provided with more supplementary materials. We have been helped by viewers who pointed out minor errors and places where the text was not entirely clear. Send us your COMMENTS Editor: Spencer
