Albert Einstein’s Documents Going Online

The Takeaway

Albert Einstein’s entire archive of  manuscripts, letters, theoretical musings, and personal correspondences are going online. More than 80,000 pages of material, owned by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, will now be digitized and shared on the web. To date, only 900 pages of the brilliant scientist’s legacy have ever been available to the public. The digital archive will offer the world an entirely new look at one of the 20th century’s most important figures, scientific or otherwise.   With Greg Good, director of the Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics, we discuss the man behind the most famous equation in history.
