Papers, 1921-1994, (bulk, 1940-1994)

Over half of the collection contains correspondence, meeting minutes, newsletters, and subject files on Ramberg's work with Amnesty International, American Friends Service Committee, and local peace groups. The rest of the collection contains correspondence, research notes, lab notebooks, technical reports and reprints generated during his years as an RCA research physicist (1935-1972), and as a student. Of particular interest is correspondence, (1946-1951) between Ramberg and his professor at Munich, Arnold Sommerfeld. Most of these letters are in German. Also important is the material produced while Ramberg was an active member of the Society for Responsibility in Science.
