The Princeton Mathematics Community in the 1930S:. AN Oral History Project, the On-Line Version
Abstract
This project1 in its unpublished 1985 paper version was essentially inaccessible to the general public until September 2000, when an on-line version at Princeton University became available with supporting web documents, describing the incredible community of university and Institute for Advanced Study mathematicians which coexisted together in Princeton during that decade, welcoming Einstein to his new and final home there. This includes over 600 pages of typewritten transcripts of interviews with personalities of that decade who were still alive in 1984 when the project was carried out by Albert Tucker, William Aspray and Rik Nebeker (with the help of Charles Gillispie) and new on-line supporting documents describing the background surrounding this decade and its unique story added by myself...
