Physics Heritage and Promise Campaign

The Center for the History of Physics is raising money to acquire the Wenner Collection, a rare book library containing the first published accounts of most of the important discoveries in physics in the past 350 years.

Let's make history together.

Join us in this initiative by making a gift today to the Physics Heritage and Promise Campaign.

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
