We are excited to share that AIP has received a generous $220,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to launch a major initiative documenting and celebrating women’s contributions to the physical sciences. Over the next year, we’ll be working to collect, preserve, and share stories that reflect the many ways women have shaped—and continue to shape—the field. In this post by Chief Research Officer Trevor Owens, read more about what we’ll be doing with the grant and how you can get involved, including the chance to contribute photos and stories to our archival collections, opportunities for interns and fellows, and an invitation to join us at the Physics and Astronomy Congress.
This blog from the Niels Bohr Library & Archives provides a behind the scenes look at the history and collections we preserve and make accessible. Explore more posts here.
