Explore the AIP Member Society Archives Portals to discover the rich history and heritage of the physical sciences and the varied disciplines represented by the AIP Member Societies.
We invite you to browse the AIP Member Society Archives Portals which highlight thousands of photographs, oral history interviews, and items from digital collections, along with descriptions of the Member Societies’ archival records held in the AIP Niels Bohr Library & Archives, as well as historical collections of interest held in libraries and archives around the world.
The AIP Center for History of Physics and the Niels Bohr Library & Archives preserve and make known the history of modern physical sciences through collecting the historical record of AIP and the Member Societies of AIP, collecting photographs that illustrate the human side of physics research and discovery, creating oral histories of living physicists, and by working with archival repositories all over the world to preserve the personal papers of physicists.
