Henry Margenau papers, 1927-1990.
The papers document Henry Margenau's professional career as a physicist and philosopher of science. They chiefly consist of correspondence and published and unpublished writings. Among the correspondents are Niels Bohr, Max Born, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Karl Popper, and Norbert Wiener. Margenau's own writings include papers prepared for the Stillwater Conference of 1950, an autobiographical statement, and a eulogy for Lars Onsager. The printed matter consists of books by others annotated by Margenau.
Henry Margenau was a professor in the Department of Physics at Yale University from 1926-1969, and editor of Foundations of Physics, Main Currents of Modern Thought, as well as editor of several journals. His interest in physics grew from a technical expertise in the Zeeman Effect and the measurement of spectral lines, to a broad appreciation of the implications of science for human life and society.
