| Abstract: | The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists was formed in May, 1946, by Albert Einstein, R.F. Bacher, Hans A. Bethe, Edward U. Condon, R. Hogness, Leo Szilard, Harold C. Urey, and V.F. Weisskopf. Their objective was to encourage and further the peaceful uses of atomic energy and to do this they would solicit private contributions in support of the work of the National Committee for Atomic Information. On August 6, 1946 the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists was incorporated in New Jersey in order "that the contributions it received might be devoted to other groups interested in the field of atomic information and education as well as the NCAI." The records of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists consist of 11.5 linear feet cover the period 1946 to 1952. The collection includes correspondence files with the several organizations, which it helped to support financially, and those organizations and individuals with whom the Committee had a common cause. It also contains the official papers, memoranda, and minutes of the meetings of the Trustees and the annual members' meetings; material relating to its fund raising and educational campaigns; minutes, reports, and papers of various scientific and interested groups' meetings; the Committee's financial records; and the general correspondence files. |

In May, 1946 Albert Einstein, R.F. Bacher, Hans A. Bethe, Edward U. Condon, Thorfin R. Hogness, Leo Szilard, Harold C. Urey, and V.F. Weisskopf joined together to form the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists. These scientists in turn were later joined by Selig Hecht, Harrison Brown, and H.J. Mueller. The object of the Committee as stated in their by-laws was to encourage and further the peaceful uses of atomic energy. To attain this objective the "Committee was to solicit private contributions in support of the work of the National Committee for Atomic Information." On August 6, 1946 the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists was incorporated in New Jersey in order "that the contributions it received might be devoted to other groups interested in the field of atomic information and education as well as the NCAI." Included among these groups were the Association of Scientists for Atomic Education, the Federation of American Scientists, and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, while supporting these various groups of scientists' organization whose ends were the education of the public and the United States' government in the potential uses and misuses of atomic energy, also carried on extensive educational programs. These programs had as their objective in addition to the raising of funds the eliciting of support for some form of international control of the atomic bomb such as the Baruch Plan submitted to the United Nations in 1946.
With the gradual decline in international amity, the failure of the United Nations' Commission on Atomic Energy to come to any agreement over international control of atomic energy, and with the increase of international tensions after 1947 the Committee decided to become inactive in 1949. It officially dissolved on October 10, 1951.
While Joseph Halle Schaffner and later E. Everet Minett were Executive Directors, the main office was in New York with the legal and banking office in Princeton, N.J. The executive offices were later moved to Chicago, but the Princeton office was retained until the Committee dissolved.
On March 14, 1952 the records of the Committee were transferred to the Library of the University of Chicago on the authority of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Vice-Chairman of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, Inc.
The records of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists consist of 11.5 linear feet cover the period 1946 to 1952. The collection includes the correspondence files with the several organizations, which it helped to support financially, and those organizations and individuals with whom the Committee had a common cause. It also contains the official papers, memoranda, and minutes of the meetings of the Trustees and the annual members' meetings; material relating to its fund raising and educational campaigns; minutes, reports, and papers of various scientific and interested groups' meetings; the Committee's financial records; and the general correspondence files. Also included are seven phonograph recordings of the discussions at the Princeton and other meetings; 13 wire recordings of the Princeton Conference (Nov 1947); one film entitled "The Atomic Bomb: Peace or Disaster; one audit book; miscellaneous financial records.
