Documenting the Physical Universe:
Preserving the Record of SLAC
from 1962 to 2005
Abstract
Since 1905, Albert Einstein's "miraculous year," modern physics has advanced
explosively. In 2005, the World Year of Physics, a session at the SAA Annual
meeting discusses three institutional initiatives --- Einstein's collected
papers, an international geophysical program, and a research laboratory --- to
examine how physics and physicists are documented and how that documentation is
being collected, preserved, and used. This paper provides a brief introduction
to the research laboratory (SLAC), discusses the origins of the SLAC Archives
and History Office, its present-day operations, and the present and future
challenges it faces in attempting to preserve an accurate historical record of
SLAC's activities.
