Institute for advanced study The Program in Theoretical Biology Lecture Series Each year, distinguished scientists in diverse areas of biology are invited to lecture at the Institute. The lecture series is coordinated with a similar series at Princeton University and is funded by the J. Seward Johnson, Sr. Charitable Trusts.

THI: The Historical Studies-Social Science Library [Marcia Tucker, Librarian] contains some 100,000 volumes and has subscriptions to about 1,000 journals. The library is strongest in classical studies, ancient history and archaeology, but it contains basic document collections, reference works and important secondary works of scholarship in most fields of history and the social sciences. The journal collection is extensive, and fairly complete back runs exist to the founding of the Institute. The library has occupied its present building since 1964- The Institute's rare book collection, the gift of Lessing J. Rosenwald, consists of about 2,000 volumes on the history of science and was compiled by Herbert M. Evans in the 1930's. The collection, which is housed in a special room, includes numerous first edi- tions of important scientific works in mathematics, astronomy, physics and the life sciences. The library has an extensive collection of offprints including those received by Professors Andrew E.Z. Alfoldi, Kurt Godel, Ernst H. Kantorowicz, Elias Avery Lowe, Millard Meiss, Erwin Panofsky, and former Members Robert Huygens and Walther Kirchner. The microfilm collections of the library include a large selection from Manuscripta, a collection of several thousand fifteenth- to nineteenth-century printed books from the Vat- ican Library. The Bavarian Academy has given the Institute a microfilm copy of slips presented for the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. The library has microfilm copies of the papers of Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel and Simone Weil. The Historical Studies-Social Science Library houses the Institute archives. The papers in the collection date from the 1930's and include official correspondence of the Direc- tor's Office, minutes of meetings of the Faculty and the Board of Trustees, miscellaneous correspondence concerning past Faculty members, records of the Electronic Computer Project and other documents. The archives also include the Institute's extensive photo- graph collection. The Mathematics-Natural Sciences Library [Momota Ganguli, Librarian] is located on the second floor of Fuld Hall and contains some 30,000 volumes (bound periodicals and monographs) plus subscriptions to nearly 200 journals. Its collection of older periodicals is housed in compact shelving on the lower level of the Historical Studies-Social Science Library. The subject areas covered by the library are pure and applied mathematics, astrophysics, and theoretical, particle and mathematical physics. Both of the Institute's libraries participate in the shared cataloging system of the Research Libraries Group, which gives Institute scholars computerized access to a database that contains more than twenty-two million records. Searches of this database retrieve bibli- ographic information and identify the location of materials in all participating libraries. Access to electronically-cataloged titles is available via Horizon, the Institute's web- accessible online catalog. The Institute's libraries are participants in the JSTOR project, which makes available archival electronic versions of many core journals in math. 103
