User:Barbara (WVS)/sandbox/Carl Gustav Hempel Papers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Carl Gustav Hempel Papers are a large collection of documents and photographs that document much of his life, teaching and career. The collection is used by students, writers, researchers, instructors and historians not only for research into the life of Hempel but also for research into his theories and the theories of colleagues with whom he corresponded. The Hempel papers are restored, maintained, cataloged and housed in the Archives Service Center, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh. They include extensive handwritten, personal, correspondence with others, lecture outlines for courses that he taught, and drafts of his published works and unpublished manuscripts. Much of the content of the Carl Gustav Hempel papers is available electronically and searchable through the finding aid through the archives.
