Stephen G. Brush (1935-) is a physicist and historian of science who worked at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore, California, before coming to the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1968. At the University of Maryland, he held the position of associate professor in the History Department as well as the Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Applied Mathematics (IFDAM), later the Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST), later becoming full professor, and finally Distinguished University Professor of the History of Science. Dr. Brush's papers document his life and career and include research and lecture notes, and drafts of publications, as well as extensive correspondence. The files chronicle Brush's work in the history of physics, especially on the origin of the solar system and moon, statistical mechanics, and the kinetic theory of heat. The papers of Stephen G. Brush date from 1888 to 2006, with the bulk of materials documenting his professional career from 1965 to 2000. The collection reflects Dr. Brush's academic interests and activities as well as some personal interests. Approximately two-thirds of the collection consists of correspondence. Dr. Brush's papers also include research and lecture notes, publication drafts, information pertaining to professional meetings, materials from the Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Applied Mathematics (IFDAM) and its successor Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST), photographs, and Dr. Brush's 1951 Westinghouse Talent Search charts. Some of Dr. Brush's main correspondents include Mara Beller, Hugh E. DeWitt, Gerald Holton, Dirk ter Haar, Hans Kangro, Thomas S. Kuhn, Larry and Rachel Laudan, Wilfried Schröder, Michael M. Sokal, Frank J. Tipler, and Clifford A. Truesdell.
