Rjsci16 / old Box A34

RJ/DIAS epoch:
Nuovo Cimento supplements for 1956 and 1957; these embody collections of global research into high-energy particle physics of the period, where this journal tended to concentrate (due to the world standing of Italian physics in this domain, with Amaldi, Fanzinetti, Fabri and others in the Fermi tradition). The 1957 supplement is the famous Fanzinetti-& Morpurgo review.

IFORS:
RJ attended the 1969 IFORS conference in the context of the bid to get the 1972 conference for Ireland; this was successful. The 1969 Proceeding has contributions by Russell Ackoff, Stafford Beer, Benoit Mandelbrot, Harold Kuhn among others. David Kennedy of Aer Lingus led the session on Informatics. (I have at home the 1972 Proceedings and I will include this; these perhaps need to be transferred to the 1970s material);
