Collection Description & Creator Information
- Description:
Consists of correspondence, observational record books, astrophysical texts, oversized telescopic observations, glass plates, and a small number of photographs. The collection documents both the scientific achievements and academic program of the Astrophysical Sciences Department, formerly the Astronomy Department, and its faculty. Included is the departmental correspondence of such notable faculty members as Raymond S. Dugan, Lyman Spitzer, Jr., John Q. Stewart and Charles A. Young. Some correspondence pertains to the department's relationship with the U.S. Navy during World War I. The collection also contains observational records of physical phenomena including the Eros asteroid and the Transit of Venus (1882). Observations of the Princetonia asteroid, Total Lunar Eclipse of 1891, and various comets and satellites are also recorded here.
