Albert Einstein’s documents and research shared online by Princeton University

An archive of documents related to research and personal letter of Albert Einstein is now available online. It can be searched through a database. Over 5,000 documents were made accessible online in a database on Friday. The collection that is being made public includes letters, diaries, scientific reports and papers.


The Einstein Papers Project, a total of 13 volumes, has been already published out of 30 projects in total. These volumes have 5,000 documents up to 1923 when Einstein was 44 in hard-bound books full with essays and footnotes telling his hard work and thoughts throughout the days. Other paperback volumes contain his English translations.


In collaboration with Tizra, the California Institute of Technology, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Digital Einstein is published. His papers' digital copies are available on the 'Einstein Archives' given by the Hebrew University. The files depict a different Einstein than most distinguish.


He was not a good student in fact he was impolite to his professors and skipped classes because he was aware that he could pass anyway. So when he requested for recommendations, he didn't get them, according historian


Matt Stanley of New York University in the Geographic report. Einstein used to utilize his time hanging out in beer halls and discussing science and philosophy.


In a 1915 postcard to a friend named Conrad Habicht, he explained his wife and himself as 'dead drunk under the table.' The material has been carefully selected and interpreted for more than 25 years. The accurate years of these documents are from 1879 to 1923. These years are considered as the most essential years of modern scientific research. In that period, there were just 1,000 physicists in the whole world.
