Lawrence Christian Biedenharn was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on November 18, 1922. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in absentia in 1944 while serving in the United States Army. He returned to MIT in 1946 and completed his Ph. D. in theoretical nuclear physics in 1950. After graduation, he worked as a research physicist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.

His teaching career began when he was hired as an assistant professor at Yale University in 1952. He joined the faculty at Rice University in 1954 and became an assistant professor there in 1956. He became a full professor at Duke University in 1961. Upon becoming Emeritus in 1992, Biedenharn moved to the University of Texas at Austin where he continued to teach as an adjunct professor until his death from kidney cancer in 1996. Biedenharn supervised 24 Ph.D. students.

Biedenharn was a prominent mathematical and theoretical nuclear physicist whose significant contributions to group theoretical methods in physics led to his worldwide recognition as one of the foremost leaders in modern theoretical physics. He published several textbooks and monographs as well as hundreds of articles, several of which were written in collaboration with prominent theorists who visited Duke University from all over the world to work with Biedenharn. Two of the articles he co-authored are among the 100 most cited Reviews of Modern Physics papers from 1955 to 1985. He served as editor of the Journal of Mathematical Physics from 1985-1992. Biedenharn was invited to lecture extensively throughout the U. S. and Europe.

Title: John Archibald Wheeler Papers, 1880-2008 1880-2008

There are correspondence, notebooks, reports, recordings, etc. of this award-winning physicist and pioneer theorist on the existence of black holes. A student of Karl Herzfeld at Johns Hopkins University, John Archibald Wheeler studied nuclear fission with Neils Bohr. The numerous volumes of research notebooks in the collection, Wheeler's daily record of calculations, meetings attended and conversations held about his work, are of primary significance. Among other subjects, they cover physics, nucleonics, quantum electrodynamics, and relativity. The correspondence in the collection contains many personal evaluations of scientists (subject to restrictions on use), as well as Wheeler's contributions to promoting physics and scientific education and training in general. There are important series relating to his participation in the 1950s on the Committee on Scientific and Technical Personnel of NATO, headed by Senator Henry M. Jackson, and his organizational work on the Joint Committee of the American Physical Society and the American Philosophical Society on the History of Theoretical Physics in the Twentieth Century.
