The Niels Bohr Archive and the Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen, invite applications for a new permanent position in history of science at full professor level.

Ernest Bohr died on 26 February 2018, few days before he would have turned 94 on 7 March. As Niels Bohr’s youngest son, he was the last of the six boys to survive.

Congratulations to Helge Kragh for being awarded the 2016 Outstanding Paper Award of the Division of the History of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society for his paper  "From Cosmochemistry to Fuel Cells: Notes on Emil Baur, Physical Chemist," Bulletin of the History of Chemistry 2015, 40(2), pp. 74-85. The award is presented to the author of the best paper published in the Bulletin for the History of Chemistry during the previous three years, 2014, 2015, 2016.

Jan Faye and Henry J. Folse have recently published a new edited volume titled “Niels Bohr and the Philosophy of Physics: Twenty-First-Century Perspectives” containing 16 contributions on Bohr’s philosophy written by as many philosophers and scientists.

A new NBA Director has been appointed. He is Christian Joas, who was previously Assistant Professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany.

NBA is currently increasing its outreach effort, as reflected on our website.

The menu books of Ulla Leerberg, the last cook at the Carlsberg Mansion, provides day-to-day information on guests at the Mansion and the meals she prepared for the last two years of Bohr's life.

Ricardo Karam and Helge Kragh offer a new course at Copenhagen University.

NBA has received a collection of letters from the American physicist Robert Bruce Lindsay to his parents while working at Bohr's institute from 1922 to 1923.

The Danish Lundbeck Foundation has approved NBA's application for digitising the original letters of the Niels Bohr Scientific Correspondence and making them available on NBA's website.

The archivist search is now completed. The new archivist is Rob Sunderland, who was born in England, but has spent the latter half of his life in Denmark.
 

NBA's Annual Report for 2015 can now be read on the website.

On the request of NBA's users, the documents relating to Werner Heisenberg's visit to Niels Bohr in Copenhagen in 1941, have now been moved to the new webpage.

We are currently looking for an archivist.
