The Digital Einstein Papers

In late 2014, Princeton University Press and the Einstein Papers Project launched The Digital Einstein Papers an open-access site for The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. The site presents volumes 1–13 and will add subsequent volumes in the series roughly two years after original book publication. The volumes are presented in the original language version with in-depth English language annotation and other scholarly apparatus. In addition, the reader can toggle to an English language translation of most documents. By clicking on the unique archival identifier number below each text, readers can access the archival record of each published document at the Einstein Archives Online and in some cases, the digitized manuscript. The launch of The Digital Einstein Papers has attracted broad attention in the press so far, with coverage ranging from The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal.

Trustees

The trustees of Einstein's literary estate were:

Otto Nathan: executor and co-trustee, professor of economics, author and friend.

Helen Dukas: co-trustee, Einstein's secretary for nearly thirty years.
