Einstein Sealed Scientific Papers?

[KarenFTW]

Hello all!

I'm wracking my brain - I could swear I once read that Einstein had decided to have a bunch of his work sealed for 75 years after his death. Scientific work - not the personal letters that were sealed for 20 years.

I can't find any reference to this on the web... Maybe it was in a biography I read? Is it ringing any bells, anyone?

Thank you!

Not to be a pest, but this really doesn't prompt anyone's memory? I remember this so clearly... maybe I'm nuts.

Thank you!

The last remaining trove of Albert Einstein's personal family letters is being opened to the public this week. They had been closely held by his stepdaughter Margot Einstein, who decreed that they remain sealed for 20 years after her death. Some of the letters are being published by Princeton University Press in the 10th volume produced by the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech, and they are a revelation. "Einstein's private correspondence refutes the simplistic view of him as an isolated, remote man who immersed himself in his work at the expense of human contact," says general editor Diana Kormos Buchwald. That is nowhere more true than in the tense months between April and December 1915, when his family life was unraveling and he was racing--under brutal competitive pressure--to complete his general theory of relativity.

That's from 2006. Is it what you're looking for?
