Index to the Scientists and Engineers
Biographical File

What is the Scientists and Engineers Biographical File? It is a collection of hard copy files with information on scientists who were prominent in the early 1970s. It consists of folders containing photographs, biographical information and bibliographies of 1200 American and 100 foreign scientists and engineers.

How was the collection formed? The collection was formed during the years 1972 - 75. The Science and Technology Division contacted well known and lesser known scientists and engineers of the mid-twentieth century, and asked them to donate the materials. Those asked included:

• Members of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineers
• Scientists listed in Who's Who in Science and Engineers of Distinction
• Nobel Prize recipients and winners of the National Medal for Science
• Members of Scientists in Search of Their Consciences.

Who should use the The Scientists and Engineers Biographical File? Researchers who need photographs, biographical information, or lists of materials by or about these scientists.

Please NOTE: Many of the photographs and printed materials may be protected by copyright. In those cases, the Library cannot grant permission to use them in published form. Only the owner of the copyright or an authorized agent of the owner may grant permission to publish materials under copyright protection.

Where is the collection located? The collection is located in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. It is listed as "Records of the Library of Congress, Science and Technology Division, Scientists and Engineers Biographical File."

How to use the Index. The index is arranged alphabetically by surname of the scientists and engineers. Following each name is a code indicating the contents of each folder:

P for photograph, BIO for biographical material, and BIB for bibliographical information.
