A New Way to Commemorate Our Colleagues and Teachers
Shelf in the Book Stacks, Reading Room, or Achives
One Book Shelf. . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,000.00
Income from these endowments will approximately pay for maintaining the cataloging and preservation of whatever goes on the shelf. One can select a shelf or shelves that include a particular historical topic or biographical subject. A Stair Leading to the Book Stacks. . . . . . . . . . . . . $3,000.00 A very visible form of recognition, similar to what Ellis Island and other public places have done by inscribing paving bricks. Your endowment will help maintain the Reading Room where the stairs are located, and the name of someone you wish to commemorate would be inscribed in this prominent location. A Well-made, Comfortable Chair . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $5,000.00 Offer a seat to a busy researcher! Have a mentor or colleague immortalized through a plaque placed on a chair in our Reading Room.

A new recognition program has been developed at the Center
for History of Physics. Generous donors can now name
significant items in the Niels Bohr Library & Archives Reading
Room, Book Stacks and Archives in memory of an esteemed
colleague, mentor or friend. Such a gift gives more than once–it will publicly recognize an important person even while it
supports our programs to preserve science history. Every penny
donated in this way will help build a sustaining endowment, since
fundraising and other costs are carried by the American Institute
of Physics. Below is a partial list of naming opportunities; please
contact AIP’s Development Office for more details (301-209-
3006;
