The Stanford University Archives is pleased to announce the publication of a finding aid to the Robert Hofstadter papers via the Online Archive of California. Robert Hofstadter was a longtime member of the Stanford University Department of Physics and the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics (1961) for his work on electron scattering.

This finding aid represents six months of hard work by Ashley McDonnell Lawyer, the Archives Assistant hired to process the Hofstadter papers through a grant from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Center for History of Physics Grants to Archives program. Big thanks are due to both Ashley and the AIP for making this finding aid possible!
