http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/154306501

Papers document Aage Bohr's personal research as well as the development of the Niels Bohr Institute, a world center for nuclear physics, as well as other areas of theoretical physics. The correspondence, which comprises the bulk of the papers, covers the period 1950-1980, and includes in-coming as well as out-going letters. There are about 3100 correspondents, of which about 600 are considered to be of special importance. It includes material on the Institute's connections with Eastern, particularly Soviet and Chinese, physics and physicists at a time when East-West relations were practically blocked. Addition of 19 boxes contains scientific and administrative correspondence from 1981-1993 (8 boxes), and materials regarding funding and international cooperation, particularly with Eastern Bloc countries from 1965-1980 (11 boxes).

The Niels Bohr Library is part of the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics. Its primary mission is to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and allied sciences. The photograph collection is named in honor of Emilio Segrè, best known for his Nobel Prize-winning work in nuclear and high-energy physics, but also an avid photographer and author of books on the history of modern physics.

Born 1922, son of Niels Bohr. Took over leadership of the Copenhagen Institute for Theoretical Physics on his father's death. He shared the Nobel Prize for physics in 1975 with his close collaborators Ben Mottelson and James Rainwater, for their contribution to the theory of the collective properties of atomic nuclei.
