    Biography/History: 
    The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a not-for-profit membership corporation chartered in New York State in 1931 for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. Its members are leading societies in the fields of physics and astronomy, and its activities include providing services to its member societies in publishing, finance, and education.
    Barton was the first director of the American Institute of Physics from its founding in 1931 until 1957. He then served as associate director until 1963.

Correspondence (1931-1964), comprising the majority of this collection, concerns Barton's professional activities, interests, and responsibilities in those positions. Topics of the correspondence include member societies of AIP (American Association of Physics Teachers, American Physical Society, Acoustical Society of America, Optical Society of America, and Society of Rheology), affiliated societies, AIP Corporate Associates, AIP committees, the AIP Governing Board and its Executive Committee, grant proposals, publishing of physics journals, Lancaster Press (AIP printer), the U.S. Navy Department, the U.S. War Department, AIP awards, physics education, selective service, the Scientific Manpower Commission, and the censorship of publications related to nuclear fission during World War II. Also includes an undated audio tape, probably by Barton, reviewing the founding of AIP and its history.
