Biographical History
A documentation research project to study the complex issues facing the historical documentation of multi-institutional collaborations in physics and allied sciences. Phase III focused on four disciplinary areas of ground-based astronomy, materials science, heavy-ion physics, and medical physics, and a category named computer-mediated collaborations. The Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array (BIMA) was a collaboration to build and operate a hard-wired array of antennae that would together function as the world's highest-resolution radio telescope at millimeter wavelengths. The array is at Hat Creek, where Berkeley has long maintained radio-astronomy facilities, but is operated remotely from the three member organizations (Univ. of California, Berkeley, University of Illinois, University of Maryland). Work began in 1985. Funding comes from the universities themselves and the National Science Foundation.
