Homer A. Neal papers, 1961-1997

39 linear feet (in 40 boxes) — 1 oversize folder

The Homer A. Neal papers, 1961-1997, document the professional career of high-energy experimental physicist, professor and academic administrator Homer Alfred Neal. Neal has held academic and administrative positions at Indiana University (1967-1981), State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook (1981-1987) and the University of Michigan (1961-1966, and 1987-present), all of which are represented in the collection. The collection documents Neal's involvement with a number of professional and scientific organizations, including the National Science Foundation, Argonne Universities Association, the Superconducting Super Collider, and Smithsonian Institution. The collection also features a significant amount of material related to Neal's research activities in high-energy physics, including the early use of computers.

The Homer A. Neal papers, 1961-1997 (39 linear feet), are organized into eight series: Biographical Information (1971-1997); Class Work and Student Teaching (1961-1966); Research (1964-1997); Teaching and Academic Administration (1967-1997); Professional Activities (1968-1996); Speeches and Presentations (1966-1997); Publications (1966-1996); and Photographs (1963-1995). With the exception of Class Work and Student Teaching, which only contains documents from Neal's time as a graduate student at the University of Michigan, each of these series spans the entire time period represented by the collection, and represents the multiple functions that Neal has carried out throughout his career. Within each of these series, documents are organized by institution or project, and then roughly chronologically.
