BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Samuel Abraham Goudsmit was born in The Hague, Netherlands on July 11, 1902. His mother, Marianne Gompers Goudsmit, ran a millinery shop and his father, Isaac, was a
wholesale dealer in bathroom fixtures. Goudsmit studied theoretical physics at the University of Leiden (1919-26), did experimental research at the University of Amsterdam (1923-26), and received his Ph.D. in physics from Leiden
in 1927. In that year he married Jaantje Logher and emigrated to the
United States.
His first position in his adopted country was on the physics faculty at the University of Michigan. He remained there until World War II when he joined the
staff of the Radiation Laboratory at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. From 1944 to 1946 he was detailed to the War Department
as Chief of Scientific Intelligence of the Alsos Mission which moved
with the advancing Allied forces in Europe to investigate the German atomic bomb project.
After the war Goudsmit was a professor of physics at Northwestern University (1946-48) and then became senior scientist at Brookhaven National
Laboratory (1948-70). He served as the Managing Editor and later Editor-in-Chief
of the American Physical Society (1951-74), founding its
Physical Review Letters in 1958. From 1975 until his death he was a Visiting Professor at
theUniversity of Nevada, Reno.
The discovery of electron spin in 1925 with fellow student George E. Uhlenbeck is generally considered Goudsmit's most significant contribution to physics. It led
to the recognition that spin was a property of protons, neutrons, and most elementary particles
and to a fundamental change in the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. For their
groundbreaking work, they received Research Corporation Awards in 1953, Max Planck Medals
in 1964, U.S. National Medals of Science in 1976, and were made Commanders in the Royal
Netherlands Order of Orange-Nassau in 1977.
Goudsmit also made the first measurement of nuclear spin and its Zeeman effect with Ernst Back (1926-27), developed a theory of hyperfine structure of
spectral lines, made the first spectroscopic determination of nuclear magnetic moments
(1931-33), contributed to the theory of complex atoms and the theory of multiple scattering of
electrons, introduced the statistical random line problem (1940), and invented the magnetic
time-of-flight mass spectrometer (1948).
Goudsmit was the recipient of many other awards and fellowships, lectured around the
country and abroad, was a visiting professor at a number of universities including Harvard University and Rockefeller University, and was
the author of
The Structure of Line Spectra with Linus Pauling (1930), Atomic Energy States with Robert F. Bacher (1932), Alsos (1947), Time with R.
Claiborne and the editors of Life Magazine (1966), and numerous
articles and editorials.
Goudsmit had one daughter from his first marriage, Esther Marianne, and in 1960 married Irene Bejach. He died in 1978.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
This collection is primarily
composed of correspondence and also includes notes, memoranda, articles, manuscripts,
notebooks, photographs, audiotapes, microfilm, and some other materials. Most materials are in
English, but many are in German, Dutch, or French. The collection documents Goudsmit's long
and multifaceted career from his discovery with George Uhlenbeck of
electron spin, through his role on the Alsos Missions, work at Brookhaven National
Laboratory and as Editor-in-Chief of the American Physical Society, to his post as
visiting professor at the University of Nevada. The APS material
mostly concerns the editing and publishing of the
Physical Review and Physical Review Letters. Additional material includes lecture notes and related
correspondence; Goudsmit's notebooks from lectures given by Paul Ehrenfest at the University of Leiden; reports and work on the
attitudes of German scientists during the Nazi regime and papers concerning the publication of
his book Alsos; and his research data from the University of Michigan and the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Scientific
topics include atomic structure, cyclotrons, quantum theory, nuclear physics, and spectroscopy.
Other areas covered include science and politics, Egyptology, criminology, World War II
refugees, parapsychology, UFO's, and philately. Correspondents include: Robert F.

PROVENANCE NOTE
This large collection was received by the Center for History
of Physics in a number of parts over the course of fifteen years. In the early 1970s Samuel
Goudsmit made the decision to place his papers here, and before his death in 1978 he had
deposited the 1921-1941 correspondence which comprises Series II and which was microfilmed
in part in 1963 by the Joint Committee on the History of Theoretical Physics in the Twentieth
Century of the American Physical Society and the American Philosophical Society and the rest later by arrangement with the AIP Center. The Center also received a few other miscellaneous
materials during that period. The bulk of the collection was a bequest of Goudsmit's and arrived
in 1979. Irene Goudsmit retained some papers at that time. In 1983
she donated one additional transfile. Those materials were primarily incorporated into what
became the Alsos Mission series (IV); a few other of those folders
concerned his work at Brookhaven and ended up in Series VII, and one
folder on subversive organizations is in the Science and Government Security series (IX). At the
same time Irene Goudsmit gave materials concerning the Holocaust to B'nai B'rith in New York City. The final deposit of two cartons of
personal materials and German documents which Goudsmit obtained while on the Alsos Mission was made in 1986 by the United States Department of
Energy, which had earlier obtained classified papers and materials related to his
intelligence work. These documents became the bulk of the Alsos Mission series and a few folders were put in the Science and Government Security series.
A few documents were not declassified. They were pulled from those boxes and not included in
the deposit; they are listed at the end of this finding aid but are closed to the public until the year
2000. Four other cartons of declassified official correspondence relating to Goudsmit's activities
in the employ of the federal government were deposited in the National Archives by the Department of Energy; there is a folder list of
those papers in the AIP Center's Papers File. The old processing notes contain more details on
the provenance of specific folders.

ARRANGEMENT NOTE
It has been impossible to duplicate
the original arrangement of these materials. Not only was the collection, which spans a period of
nearly sixty years, deposited in parts, the processing of this collection has extended over more
than a decade and has included the efforts of a number of people. Additionally, the 1921-1941
correspondence (Series II) was put into chronological order to accommodate the SHQP project.
However, Goudsmit's arrangement, or at least the spirit of Goudsmit's arrangement, has been
retained to a considerable extent in many of the series. The largest series, Individuals,
Institutions, and Subjects (III), seems to be a close reconstruction of Goudsmit's general
correspondence files, although some folders have been retitled for clarity, some folders which
were very full have been divided into two or more, and a few miscellaneous folders which fit
here better than elsewhere were added to the series. The Alsos Mission
series (IV) also seems to be material which he kept together and the old folder headings have
been maintained to a large extent. However, as this material was split up and then obtained by
the Center from a number of sources the original order has not been preserved. Subseries A (American Philosophical Society) and B (American
Physical Society) of Series XI (Organizations) seem to be in roughly the same order
they were found in after Goudsmit's death, as does Series XV, Writers' Files.
The arrangement of the series which largely contain articles and manuscripts, that is Writings
by Goudsmit (X), Scientific Subject Files (XII), and Author Files (XIII) is more fabricated.
However, even in these cases there has been an attempt to adhere to Goudsmit's arrangement, and
folder headings have usually been retained. Series XII and XIII contain similar materials, but the
materials were filed in distinct series because the materials in Series XII were originally in
folders headed by subjects while the others were simply headed by paper title and/or author or
were not foldered. While folder headings were often maintained, all the old folders were replaced
with archival quality, acid free folders, and all materials were transferred to archival quality, acid
free storage boxes.
The researcher using this collection should realize that there is not necessarily only one
logical place for any given document, and that when searching for a specific item or material
pertaining to a particular topic, one should study the finding aid and explore different possible
locations. (For example, the Alsos Mission series contains papers
Goudsmit kept together under that heading. However, other Alsos related material may be found
throughout the collection: correspondence and other papers may be in Series III under the names
of specific individuals, related articles by Goudsmit are in Series X, and slides are in Series
XVI.)
SERIES DESCRIPTIONS
I. Biographical MaterialsBox 1
This small series includes biographical articles, reference book entries, and a
few other miscellaneous materials such as retirement acknowledgments and Christmas cards.
II. Chronological Correspondence, 1921-1941Boxes 2-4
This early correspondence, which is primarily personal and professional in
nature rather than technical, was put into chronological order for the Archives for History of
Quantum Physics project. Most of the 1921-1933 correspondence was microfilmed in 1963
(AHQP reels 60-65). The other correspondence in this series was also later microfilmed. Each
microfilm reel contains an itemized chronological listing of correspondents. In addition, copies
of Thomas Kuhn's cards listing the AHQP correspondence and a
printout of the listing for the 1933-41 correspondence can be found in the processing notes.
There is also a list of pre-1933 correspondence on microfilm in this collection (series XVI).
III. Individuals, Institutions, and SubjectsBoxes
5-24
This is Goudsmit's general file of correspondence and other papers arranged
alphabetically by correspondent or subject. A wide variety of mostly nontechnical topics are
covered here, revealing the wide scope of Goudsmit's interests and activities. Items are usually
filed under the name of an individual or institution involved rather than under a subject heading.

the University of Michigan, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Rockefeller Institute, and the University of Nevada at Reno.
VI. University of Nevada. Desert Research InstituteBoxes 38-39
The Desert Research Institute was organized at the University of Nevada at Reno in 1960 to conduct fundamental and
applied research. Wendell A. Mordy became its first director.
Goudsmit was asked to comment on the first proposal for funding for the Institute from the Research Corporation foundation. He showed much interest in the
Institute from its outset, but did not join its advisory board until 1965. The material in this series
includes general information about the Institute, reports of its advisory committee, and
correspondence with its directors and other committee members.
VII. Brookhaven and other PositionsBoxes
39-40
This series contains information about some of Goudsmit's nonacademic jobs
and consultantships. There are four folders on the Brookhaven National Laboratory, four on other jobs including work with the Navy, Argonne National Laboratory, and the Atomic Energy
Commission, and one folder on job offers he declined.
VIII. TravelBox 40
This series contains a selection of notes and correspondence on trips and
arrangements, travel reports, and brochures. Other travel papers are interfiled elsewhere in the
collection.
IX. Science and Government SecurityBoxes
40-41
This series includes notes, correspondence, and other papers concerning
security clearance, visa problems, travel restrictions, the McCarthy hearings, and other issues
related to the interaction between science and politics. Individuals who are particular foci here
are Morris Berg, Joan Hinton, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Lew and Kate Kowarski, and Johannes M.
Burgers.
X. Writings by GoudsmitBoxes 42-46
Goudsmit was a prolific writer. This series of his written work contains four
subseries.
A. Unpublished manuscripts, published articles, reports, and a
patent,
the largest subseries, is chronological by year and then alphabetized by title
within years. Most of this work is on scientific topics, but there is also work on science and
government, World War II, and German science, and some papers reflect his other interests such
as archeology and Egyptology. Multiple language versions of papers are grouped together under
English title (if it exists). Related notes and correspondence are also in some files.
B. Letters to the editor of various publications
includes some letters which were not published. They are arranged
chronologically by the publication date if there was one and it is known, otherwise by the date
they were written.
C. ObituariesD. Book reviews
arranged chronologically by review date.
XI. OrganizationsBoxes 47-55
This series contains correspondence, memoranda, notes, and other papers
related to Goudsmit's involvement with various organizations.
A. American Philosophical Society B. American Physical Society
is the bulk of the series. Some of these papers concern Goudsmit's committee
work and general involvement in APS. Most are from his job as editor and relate to topics such
as editorial policies, administration, and policies such as the exchange of copies with other
journals, page charges, and distribution of complimentary copies.
C. Other organizations
reflects some of Goudsmit's other involvements. The American Institute of
Physics, the National Academy of Sciences, and other organizations are represented.
XII. Scientific Subject FilesBoxes 56-60
This series contains notes, articles and manuscripts by other people, and
some photographs and drawings arranged by subject. There is a lot of material on spectroscopy
and related subjects.
XIII. Author FilesBoxes 60-62
This series contains reprints and papers arranged by author. In some cases
there is also material such as reviews of works of those authors.
XIV. NotebooksBoxes 63-64
This series contains a few student notebooks, research notebooks on specific
topics, binders of notes on different topics, and a few very small notebooks with information
such as addresses and expenses.
XV. Writer's FilesBoxes 65-66
The writers' files contain chronologically arranged copies of letters by
Goudsmit. The letters cover a wide range of subjects, primarily concerning written work by
Goudsmit and others, the publication of journals (editorial and administrative issues), and
speaking engagements.
Writers' files from 1951-1968 are only on microfilm (see Series
XVI. Audio-visual materials, subseries A. Microfilm). Unfortunately the quality is bad and
difficult to read.
XVI. Audio-visual MaterialsBoxes 67-72A. Microfilm
is six reels of microfilm of Goudsmit's papers, including three reels of film of
his early "Writers' files" from 1951-68, the originals of which probably no longer exist.
Unfortunately those three reels are very difficult to read.
B. Slides
contains about one hundred slides with various subjects including Alsos
related images, American Physical Society editorial staff, and images for Goudsmit's 1976 Max
Planck lectures. Many images were identified by Jonothan Logan in 1977 and captions by him
accompany the slides.
C. Negatives, motion picture footage, and a filmstrip
includes 62 rolls of negatives, a few miscellaneous flat negatives, and some
strips of 35mm negatives. Many were not labeled. A few were wrapped in paper with
descriptive notes. Copies of those notes are in a folder in the box with the negatives; the notes
are numbered and the corresponding numbers are written on the film wrappers. Most of the
images are experimental data, Three rolls have non-experimental images such as people and
scenery; they are labeled: "Harvard 1941," "Geneva 195?" and "Holland '45 (Alsos)." The strip
negatives are Alsos-related images. There is also motion picture footage of Franklin Roosevelt
and an unidentified filmstrip.
D. Photographs.
Over 300 photographs, all of which are experimental data. Some are labeled.
E. Audio tapes.
Four miscellaneous tapes.
F. Lantern slides
contains 26--3.5" x 4" slides. 18 are on mass spectrometer history and
include images of charts and equipment. Eight slides are chemical work on mass spectroscopy.
