AIP History
Welcome to the YouTube page for the History Programs at the American Institute of Physics including the Center for History of Physics and the Niels Bohr Library & Archives. Founded in 1962, the History Programs mission is to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and its allied fields through our two joint programs.
The Center for History of Physics supports the efforts of the scholarly community to document, investigate, and understand the nature and origin of developments in modern physics and their impact on society. The Niels Bohr Library & Archives is a repository and clearinghouse for information in the history of physics, astronomy, geophysics and allied fields.
