Series 5. Scientific research, 1953-2000, undated
Series Scope and Contents
This series represents the oeuvre of Robert L. Forward's scientific work, containing journals, papers, articles, lectures, technical reports, notes, and other material regarding his career as a physicist and consultant. Materials document a variety of topics, including Forward's work at Hughes Research Laboratories, professional publications and research, and consultant services undertaken for separate projects and contracts. While the bulk of the records were created by, or pertain to, Dr. Forward, the intellectual products of other scientists are also included.
