Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around locating original handwritten papers by Albert Einstein, specifically seeking sources for these documents, which are primarily in German. Participants express interest in both real copies and scans of the papers.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant, Jeff, inquires about where to find original handwritten papers by Einstein, noting the difficulty in filtering through online information.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on whether Jeff is looking for real copies or scans of the papers.
  • Several links to websites are provided, including http://www.einstein.caltech.edu/ and http://www.Alberteinstein.info/, which may contain relevant resources.
  • Jeff expresses a desire for scans of the handwritten papers for personal use, indicating that the resources found so far are limited in scope.
  • A participant suggests that the second link provided by robphy is comprehensive and encourages further exploration of that site.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the interest in finding Einstein's original papers, but there is no consensus on the availability or comprehensiveness of the resources mentioned.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the unclear availability of complete scans of Einstein's handwritten papers and the potential for varying quality or completeness of the resources found online.

I know this question has been asked before but does anyone know where I could find some of Einstein's original handwritten papers? Obviously they would be in german but its no problem. There is so much junk about him on the internet its hard to sift through it all

Thanks,
Jeff

Original hand written papers as in the real copies of them or scans of them?
 
I wanted scans of the handwritten ones. Its not a huge deal I just had a moment where I wanted those for my background. I found the site listed above(I think it was first on google) but it only has a few pages of the scans and not the whole paper so i could pick which page I wanted. Thanks anyway
