The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a not-for-profit membership corporation chartered in New York State in 1931 for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare.
AIP is a primary publisher of physics information. AIP edits, composes, produces, markets, and distributes eight archival journals that it owns, as well as derivative products; produces journals for Member and Affiliated Societies; translates and publishes English editions of Russian-language journals; and publishes magazines and books.

AIP reaches out to its Member Societies and their Members through an array of supportive "Physics Programs," including the Division of Career Planning and Placement, which serves as a matchmaker between employers and physicists seeking employment. Also clustered under the Physics Programs "service umbrella" is the Center for History of Physics, which helps preserve and make known the history of physics and allied sciences through services including its Niels Bohr Library and Emilio Segrè Visual Archives.
AIP's Online Career Planning and Placement Service
features job listings
(login: aipjobs, password: aipjobs) that are updated
regularly (note that your browser must be configured to
use a telnet "helper application").
The Physics
Careers Bulletin Board affords students an opportunity
to pose questions to physicists about careers in the physical
sciences (Current Installment: June 1995).

for History of Physics Newsletter.
