AIP’s History programs help us understand the history of modern physics and how it shapes our future. AIP offers researchers and the public free access to historical resources, online exhibits, oral histories, and educational materials, along with financial assistance for using archival facilities globally. The works scholars are able to access through AIP’s history program transform dissertations, journal articles, and books.
