ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The editors have
benefited
greatly
from
many
sources.
We
extend
our
thanks
to the
members
of
the Editorial
Advisory
Board and the Executive
Committee,
who
dis-
cussed
plans
for the volume. We also
wish to
thank
The
Hebrew
University
of
Jerusalem
for
granting us
permission
to
publish
materials from its
holdings
and for
making
the
Albert Einstein
Archives
available
to
the editors.
The
ongoing support
of
Harold
McGraw, Jr.,
and the assistance
of
Jan
Philipp
Reemtsma,
are deeply appreciated.
The
preparation
of
this volume
was
made
possible
in
part by a
grant
from the National Endowment for the
Humanities,
an
independent
federal
agency. Support was
also
provided
by
Boston
University
and
the SUN
Microsystems Corp.,
and
by
the
following
European
institutions: the
Swiss National Science
Foundation,
the Federal Institute
of
Technology
(ETH)
in
Zurich,
the
Dr.
Tomalla
Foundation
in
Liechtenstein,
and the Pieter
Zeeman
Foun-
dation
in the Netherlands.
We
are
grateful
to
Peter
Nabholz,
without
whose assistance
much of
the docu-
mentation
from Switzerland
could
not have
been
assembled. Katerina
Ciandrini,
ETH
Library,
Zurich,
and
Sybille
Franks and Daniel Tschirren
of
the
History
of
Science Collections
at
the
ETH
Library
complemented
his work in
Zurich,
while
Angela
and Karlheinz
Steinmüller of
Berlin and Gelsenkirchen made German
archival material available to
us.
Thanks
are
also due
to
Ze’ev
Rosenkranz,
the
Bern Dibner Curator
of
the Albert Einstein Archives
of
the Jewish
National
and
University Library
at
The Hebrew
University,
who
provided us
with invaluable
information
on
the
original
manuscripts
of
Einstein’s
unpublished papers
and
correspondence.
Beat Glaus and Yvonne
Vogeli,
Director
Emeritus and
Deputy
Director,
respectively,
of
the
History
of
Science Collections
at
the ETH

holdings
in Switzerland.

Mumenthaler,
Glaus’s
successor
as
Director,
has been
equally helpful.
