The Human Face of Science: Mini-Exhibits
More favorite photos, with quotes, of famous scientists.
A collection of more than 30,000 historical photographs, slides, lithographs, engravings, and other visual materials, the Emilio Segrè Visual Archives focuses on American physicists and astronomers of the twentieth century, but includes many scientists in Europe and elsewhere, in other fields related to physics, and in earlier times.
The collection is named in honor of Emilio Segrè, best known for his Nobel Prize-winning work in nuclear and high-energy physics, but also an avid photographer and author of books on the history of modern physics.
Please help our effort to give science a human face with a tax-deductible contribution:

• Donate photos
The Visual Archives is part of the Niels Bohr Library of the Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics. It is supported by donations from the Friends of the AIP Center for History of Physics and by an Endowment Fund founded by Rosa Segrè.
