The Niels Bohr Library celebrated its 40th anniversary on April 5, 2002.
The reception was held downstairs from the Library in the American Center
for Physics. The Library became an arm for the Center for History of Physics
after the Center was created as a divison of the American Institute of
Physics. In 1962, when the Library was opened, Robert Oppenheimer spoke
about its value at a dedication ceremony. "The enterprises which
are now under way," he said, "and for which this room will serve
as hearth, should make it possible, if there are serious students of the
human predicament in the future, to know very much more about what has
befallen us than we who are acting and living in it."
The Library is now a premier repository for books, oral history interviews
and other materials documenting the history of modern physics, astronomy
and geophysics.
