12. Peace. 1945-1994.
This section has been partitioned into eight thematic sub-sections that illustrate
Linus Pauling's manifold interests in topics of peace and humanism. The Peace holdings
include manuscripts and typescripts, correspondence, notes, meeting minutes, non-Pauling
publications and other ephemera reflecting the numerous concerns addressed by the
Paulings and the international peace movement from the mid-1940s to the mid-1990s.
Prominent items include the three-volume bound Bomb-Test Petition to the United Nations, for which Pauling received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963, as well as a sizeable
trove of materials related to Pauling's membership in the Emergency Committee of Atomic
Scientists (ECAS), formed by Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard at the conclusion of
World War II. Much of the ECAS content has been digitized and is available for patron
use upon request.
