Oral History Interviews. Series 4. Perspective Interviews.

These interviews were conducted with individuals outside the selected experiments and probes, to supply missing pieces from the overview of community leaders such as admininstrators at funding agencies and laboratories, and women and minorities in the field. One black physicist was interviewed, but primarily from the perspective of administration. This series includes interviews with high-energy physics administrators and women.

A documentation research project to study the complex issues facing the historical documentation of multi-institutional collaborations in physics and allied sciences. "Probes" are in-depth studies of three highly significant collaborations: the discoveries of the psi at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), the upsilon experiments at Fermilab, and the CLEO experiment and the origins of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring at Cornell University. The psi discovery (SLAC-SP-017) was a collabo...

This oral history project was undertaken by the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics, beginning in about 1976. The American Philosophical Society Library is a designated repository for the archive, which includes photocopies of typed manuscripts of the interviews, and microfilm and microfiche of certain manuscript collections of astrophysicists. These include the papers of Robert D'E Atkinson, Seth Chandler, Theodore Dunham [The American Philosophical Society has re...
