This archive was created by the active intervention of researchers and was collected with the support of the National Science Foundation as a resource for historians, sociologists, and other researchers interested in the saga of cold fusion. The archive consists of four major types of information: original manuscript and published materials produced by principles in cold fusion; mass media articles about cold fusion, including newspapers, magazines, books, radio broadcasts, and television broadcasts consisting of original clippings, off-the-air recordings, computer printouts, digital camera cassettes, and transcripts; taped interviews with researchers, research administrators, public information representatives, and journalists involved in cold fusion; and items of material culture.
