FERMILAB TM-2091
Physics History Books in the
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) Library, 1999

Compiled by Sara Tompson, Fermilab Library Administrator

Fermilab is a basic research high-energy physics laboratory operated by Universities Research Association, Inc. under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy. Fermilab researchers utilize the Tevatron particle accelerator (currently the world’s most powerful accelerator) to better understand subatomic particles as they exist now and as they existed near the birth of the universe.

A collection review of the Fermilab Library monographs was conducted during the summers of 1998 and 1999. While some items were identified for deselection, the review proved most fruitful in highlighting some of the strengths of the Fermilab monograph collection. One of these strengths is history of physics, including biographies and astrophysics.

A bibliography of the physics history books in the collection as of Summer, 1999 follows, arranged by author. Note that the call numbers are Library of Congress classification. To check on the current status of any of these books, go to our Online Catalog.
