AIP study of multi-institutional collaborations: Phase 1, High-energy physics. Report No. 3, Catalog of selected historical materials

The title of this catalog is to be taken literally. Our coverage is selective. Laboratory archivists at CERN, Fermilab, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and SLAC were generous in providing descriptions of records of particular relevance to experiments in high-energy physics; descriptions of records at Brookhaven were prepared by the AIP. Our catalog of these records in no way reflects the laboratories` holdings of valuable documentation. Most of the records located by the project relate to our ``probes.`` These were in-depth studies of three highly-significant collaborations: the discoveries of the psi at SLAC and the upsilon at Fermilab and the CLEO experiment and the origins of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring at Cornell University. The AIP study conducted a large number of interviews on more than 20 additional experiments; they are covered in this catalog. In the process of interviewing, we located valuable files-especially professional papers in the possession of individual physicists. It will take considerable effort and a number of years before these collections can be secured in appropriate repositories; they are not included here.
