Walter Baade Papers
Manuscripts
The collection consists of research files, notes, and correspondence, related to the study of supernovae, RR Lyrae stars, star populations, galaxies (including the Andromeda Galaxy), and various novae by German-born astronomer Wilhelm Heinrich Walter Baade (1893-1960), who joined the staff of the Mount Wilson Observatory in 1931. This collection forms part of the Mount Wilson Papers of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The collection has not been fully processed and the container list below provides only a broad description of materials in each box, often based on topics assigned by Henrietta Swope.
