What Donors are saying:

“The Center for History of Physics at AIP is a jewel that disperses light over physical science.”
--John Rigden, Donor, Center for History of Physics and member of Physics Legacy Circle

“There are things that AIP does that no member society does that are tremendously important.”
--Ken Ford, Donor, Center for History of Physics and Sigma Pi Sigma

“It’s developed a solid community across all physics borders; it’s also tied in applied physics with basic physics. AIP, if it didn’t exist, would have to be recreated again.”
--Frederick Seitz, Former Chair AIP Governing Board and member of Physics Legacy Circle
