History and Foundations of Quantum Physics: Digital Infrastructure

To support the individual researchers, a coordinated effort has been made in close cooperation with the IT-Department to collect, digitize, and make available a wide array of sources for the history of quantum physics in the ECHO environment (Carmen Hammer). Part of this endeavor is the digitization by the MPIWG library of the complete Archives for the History of Quantum Physics, an extensive collection of sources compiled and microfilmed at the American Philosophical Society. This work nears completion and the digitized material is accessible to cooperating researchers on the project’s website. Another activity is the cataloging and digitization of Erwin Schrödinger's papers which are in the possession of his daughter, Ruth Braunizer.
