SLAC History Project anniversary

In February 1986, at the urging of the American Institute of Physics, the SLAC History Project was initiated with a records survey in all administrative groups.

Under the direction of Bill Kirk, Assistant to the Director, the History Project used a survey to identify important records, created an inventory database (SLACHIST), established a physical archives, and initiated an oral history program. Staff of the Project included Bill Kirk, Louise Addis, and Marie LaBelle.
