Einstein Papers Project, Academic research initiative at California Institute of Technology, US
The Einstein Papers Project is a research initiative at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, dedicated to collecting, editing, and publishing the writings of Albert Einstein. The project produces annotated volumes that include letters, scientific manuscripts, and personal notes, many of them originally written in German, with English translations.
The project was founded in 1977 at Princeton University Press, then moved to Boston University in 1984 before settling at Caltech in 2000. Each move brought new editors and a broader editorial scope to the work.
The project maintains over 90,000 digitized records of Einstein's manuscripts and letters, fostering international collaboration among scholars, editors, and researchers worldwide.
The Digital Einstein Papers website gives free online access to the published volumes, including English translations and a full-text search tool. Visitors looking for specific letters or topics will find the search function especially useful.
The collection holds personal travel diaries in which Einstein recorded his impressions of countries like Japan, Spain, and the United States. These texts show a very different side of him compared to his scientific publications.
