Albert Einstein (1879–1955), one of the foremost scientists and public figures of the 20th century, revolutionized our views of time and space, matter and light, gravitation and the universe.
The Einstein Papers Project is engaged in one of the most ambitious scholarly publishing ventures undertaken in the history of science. The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein provides the first complete picture of Einstein’s massive written legacy.

The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein series now covers Einstein's life and work up to his 48th birthday. It presents, as annotated full text, 484 writings by Einstein and 3,450 letters written by and to him. An additional 3,441 documents appear in abstract.
A unique resource: You can access our database of 90,000+ records of all known Einstein manuscripts and correspondence and also search the full text of 2,000 digitized items.
EPP Scientific Editor, Tilman Sauer and Tobias Schütz, doctoral candidate at the University of Mainz, and 2019 Visiting Research Student at the EPP, published Einstein's Washington Manuscript on Unified Field Theory in the Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte journal. The abstract is as follows: "In this note, we point attention to and briefly discuss a curious manuscript of Einstein, composed in 1938 and entitled “Unified Field Theory,” the only such writing, published or unpublished, carrying this title without any further specification. Apparently never intended for publication, the manuscript sheds light both on Einstein′s modus operandi as well as on the public role of Einstein′s later work on a unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism."
Colleagues at the L'Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres) and ESPCI (École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles) recently launched a beautiful digital archive of Paul Langevin's papers. Of the 9,108 digitized items, the bulk of the physical holdings are in the ESPCI archive. We appreciate the time, energy and resources needed to achieve a launch of this caliber. Congratulations!
