The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a not-for-profit membership corporation chartered in New York State in 1931 for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. Its members are leading societies in the fields of physics and astronomy, and its activities include providing services to its member societies in publishing, finance, and education. In recognition of the increasing role which educational projects played in the American Institute of Physics, a formal Education Department was established in 1958. It was joined with the AIP program on manpower in 1961, forming the Education and Manpower Division. In 1971 education and manpower became separate entities again.

Scope and Contents of Collection

The collection contains miscellaneous publications printed by the American Institute of Physics Education and Manpower division for the public, and include directories, pamphlets, brochures, reports, and newsletters on various education and career topics. Includes Sigma Pi Sigma Radiations (1987-2010) and Society of Physics Students Observer (1968-2010) newsletters.

 Organization and Arrangement of Collection

The collection is organized by type beginning with directories of educational physics programs and faculties, then followed by reports, brochures, and newsletters. Each type is arranged alphabetically with directories and newsletters in chronological order.

 Access to Collection

Researchers must have an approved access application on file in order to access archival materials. http://www.aip.org/history/nbl/access.html.

 Provenance and Acquisition Information

Collection is added to on an annual basis as new publications are received.
