- Scope and Contents
The collection consists of works of Smyth, his professional correspondence, copies of doctoral dissertations by his graduate students, miscellaneous material, and printed matter. His works include autograph and typed manuscripts, with graphs, diagrams, and galley proofs, of two books, Dielectric Constant and Molecular Structure (1931) and Dielectric Behavior and Structure (1955), a manuscript on the life and accomplishments of Peter J. W. Debye for the Dictionary of Scientific Biography, and miscellaneous material about these works. In addition, there are many offprints of his articles that appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the American Journal of Science, and the Journal of Chemical Physics.

- Collection Creator Biography:
Smyth
Charles Phelps Smyth, a graduate of Princeton in 1916, joined the University faculty in 1920. He became associate professor of chemistry in 1927 and professor in 1938. During World War II, Smyth worked on the atomic bomb for the Manhattan District Project, and served during the last months of the war with a scientific intelligence unit, Alsos Mission, near the front lines in Europe. He received the Medal of Freedom from the U.S. Army for his mission achievements. Smyth's chemical research was directed toward increased knowledge of the structure of matter. He was associate editor of the Journal of Chemical Physics (1933-1936, 1952-1954), published over 300 articles in scientific books and journals, and authored two books: Dielectric Constant and Molecular Structure (1931) and Dielectric Behavior and Structure (1955). He died in 1990.

- Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements
For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
