Scope and Contents

Subseries 15A: General, 1954-1972 (bulk 1957-1972) contains subject files about various research projects and corresponding committees, laboratories and facilities, and policies and procedures. The files mainly consist of correspondence and memoranda, and additionally some budgets and projections, committee minutes, reports, and press releases.

The series includes files on the development of the new Computer Center. First established in 1962 at the Engineering Quad, the Center got a new building in 1969 at Prospect Avenue, which housed one of the largest and fastest computers at the time.

Two other record series concern projects and facilities at the Forrestal Campus: Project Matterhorn, which was renamed 'Plasma Physics Lab' in 1961, and the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator Project. The files on Project Matterhorn start in 1958, when fusion work was declassified, and graduate instruction in plasma physics could be started as a result. The records on the Princeton-Pennsylvania Accelerator Project document the 15-year history of this $40 million dollar accelerator, which was closed in 1972 for lack of adequate funding. For more information about these and other research projects researchers may consult the Communication Office records (AC#168) and the Historical Subject Files (AC#109).
