Einstein, Albert, 1879-1955.

The Ray and Cary Cooper Science Collection consists of books, journals, clippings, photographs, correspondence, and signatures from prominent figures in the history of science (aeronautics, chemistry, physics, technology), and the development of the atomic bomb. Materials in the collection cover the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

This collection chronicles the 30 year relationship between Albert Einstein and Sanehiko Yamamoto (President of Japan's renowned publishing house Kaizosha) that was formed during Einstein's 1922 trip to Japan. Included are photographs, letters, and artwork given to Yamamoto by Einstein during his trip, as well as a 1949 letter and photographs documenting Yamamoto's continued friendship with Einstein after World War II.
