Joseph Mayer Papers, 1920 - 1983

Title: Joseph Mayer Papers, 1920 - 1983

Papers of a theoretical chemical physicist, researcher, author, consultant, and professor of chemistry at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) from 1960 until his retirement in 1973. Mayer is best known for his work in statistical mechanics and the application of statistical mechanics to concepts of liquids and dense gases. His accomplishments include the writing of two important textbooks in the field, STATISTICAL MECHANICS (1940) and EQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL MECHANICS (1968), as well as numerous papers and articles which stimulated scientific inquiry. Before coming to UCSD, Mayer taught at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and the University of Chicago. His first wife was the physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906-1972), who shared the Nobel Prize for physics in 1963. Joseph Mayer married Margaret Griffin in 1972.Most of the materials in the collection date from 1946 to 1973, although some items, such as Mayer's college memorabilia, originate in earlier periods. Most important are the writings and correspondence. Also included are materials, 1973-1975, created by Mayer as president of the American Physical Society. Among the significant correspondents represented in the collection are Max Born, Johannes Hans Jensen, Martin Kamen, Linus Pauling, Roger Revelle, Leo Szilard, Hermann Weyl, and Bruno Zimm. Absent from the materials are records related to Mayer's consulting work for the United States Government during and after World War II. Also absent is documentation of his activities at Johns Hopkins and Columbia University. The collection is divided into thirteen series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS, 2) GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE, 3) WRITINGS BY JOSEPH MAYER, 4) WRITINGS BY OTHERS, 5) SPEECHES BY JOSEPH MAYER, 6) ORGANIZATIONS, 7) CONFERENCES, 8) GRANT MATERIALS, 9) UCSD MATERIALS, 10) UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MATERIALS, 11) GENERAL SUBJECTS, 12) PHOTOGRAPHS, and 13) LANTERN SLIDES.The accession processed in 1997 contains photographs, awards, certificates, and diplomas and is arranged in two series: 1) PHOTOGRAPHS and 2) AWARDS, CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS.
