Dedicated to the history of physics and allied fields, the Niels Bohr Library is part
of the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics (AIP),
located in College Park, Maryland. As part of its international, cooperative
strategy to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and allied
sciences and their relations with society, the Center maintains the Library to
provide reference services and save unique materials where other repositories
would be less suitable.
The Niels Bohr Library contains the manuscripts of Jewish scientists, primarily
physicists, who fled Nazi Germany and continued their studies, research, and
teaching in the UK or the UK. These manuscripts include the papers of Albert
Einstein, Paul Rudolph Zillsel, Maria Stein, Heinrich Gerhard Kuhn, Vivian
Annabelle Johnson, Karl Ferdinand Herzfeld, and Paul Peter Ewald. The papers
of Samuel A. Goudsmit, who was detailed to the War Department as Chief of
Scientific Intelligence of the Alsos Mission which moved with the advancing
Allied forces in Europe to investigate the German atomic bomb project, may also
contain pertinent material.
