To Advance and Diffuse the Knowledge of Physics

100 Years of the American Physical Society

May 15, 2007
APS Centennial exhibit
This exhibit, commissioned for the APS Centennial, looks at the evolution of the American Physical Society and its research journals, their responsiveness to the needs of science, and their dynamic relationship with American culture.

To Advance and Diffuse the Knowledge of Physics will be on exhibit in its entirety at the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) headquarters in Gaithersburg, MD through the end of 1999. Visitors are welcome.

The American Physical Society was established over one hundred years ago; the Physical Review six years before that. Together they have shaped and promoted physics research in the 20th century.
