…the Bibliographical Database

The Bibliographical Database contains bibliographical information for books, book sections and journal articles connected to the history of quantum physics.

The more than 6700 entries include primary source as well as secondary literature. The Database can be used like every other Opac.

For many entries there all ready is a link available to get the pdf-file.

The Database is far from beeing complete, if you come across any primary or secondary material,

please share this material by adding new entries to the database, using the scanbox or by emailing to our student research assitents email
