http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84273924

There is significant biographical material in the collection. There are obituaries and tributes, interviews, discussions and dialogues with Bohm, including those at Ojai, California. Bohm's ideas attracted much interest and there are a significant number of articles and papers inspired by him. Material directly recording his life and career is comparatively slight, but there are papers relating to Bohm's difficulties with the House Committee on Un-American Activities 1949-1951. These are drafts by Bohm of papers and lectures, mostly unpublished, including some drafts on quantum theory, although the bulk are of a philosophical nature. There are also copies of a few of his published works; book reviews by others of Bohm's works; and drafts by F. D. Peat drawing on Bohms work, which were found with the papers. The correspondence is divided into two sequences. There is a sequence of general correspondence, including photocopies of correspondence with Einstein ca. 1950-1954 which includes discussion of quantum theory as well as Einstein's advice on Bohm's career. Other significant correspondents are R. Karnette, H. M. Loewy and M. Phillips. The second sequence is photocopies of the voluminous correspondence on a wide range of philosophical and scientific subjects with the American artist and theorist Charles J. Biederman, 1960-1969.
