Thousands of documents including the scientific research and personal writings of Albert Einstein have been put online as a free searchable database.
Five thousand documents from the first 44 years of the scientist’s life opened online Friday via Princeton University Press. The database, called the Digital Einstein Papers, is part of the Einstein Papers Project.
Princeton University Press is collaborating with the California Institute of Technology and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where the Albert Einstein Archives are housed, on the project.
Tens of thousands of articles and letters still remain to be sorted and scanned, the Inside Higher Education website reported.
Thirteen volumes have been published of “The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein,” the ongoing publication of his massive written legacy comprising more than 30,000 unique documents.
The volumes are presented in their original language version with English language annotation, according to the website. Links are also available to English language translations of most documents.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
