Background note

Herbert Friedman was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1916 and graduated from Brooklyn College in 1936 (BS) and from Johns Hopkins (Phd, Physics). He joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1940, and until about 1950 maintained an active research program in applied x-ray spectroscopy. In 1949 he conducted his first of many space experiments comprising a set of x-ray and ultraviolet sensitive geiger counters to observe the Sun.

Friedman is recognized as one of the pioneers of space science for his contributions to solar physics, upper atmospheric physics and x-ray astronomy. He was also recognized as one of the great statesman of the discipline having been a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee, the General Advisory Committee to the Atomic Energy Commission, the Space Science Board of the National Academy of Sciences, the Governing Board of the National Academy of Sciences. His awards include the Eddington Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, the National Medal of Science, the William Bowie Medal of the American Geophysical Society, the Henry Norris Russell Award of the American Astronomical Society and the Wolf Foundation Prize in Physics. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Science in 1960. He retired from the Naval Research Laboratory in 1980 but continued an association with the Laboratory as a consultant and as Chief Scientist, emeritus. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1964.

Series IV, the second largest in the collection, consists of correspondence, official reports and papers from Dr. Friedman's career at the Navy Research Laboratory. The series includes work from scientists that Dr. Friedman worked with and supervised, including Dr. Talbot A. Chubb and Dr. George R. Carruthers. The correspondence is organized chronologically, as names are rarely used; internal code numbers are used instead. Dr. Friedman was, for some time, Code 7100, but used other designations as well. Signatures on memos and letters are best consulted to be sure of the author.

Series V. Patents

Series IV. Naval Research Laboratory
 7.0 linear feet

Series IV, the second largest in the collection, consists of correspondence, official reports and papers from Dr. Friedman's career at the Navy Research Laboratory. The series includes work from scientists that Dr. Friedman worked with and supervised, including Dr. Talbot A. Chubb and Dr. George R. Carruthers. The correspondence is organized chronologically, as names are rarely used; internal code numbers are used instead. Dr. Friedman was, for some time, Code 7100, but used other designations as well. Signatures on memos and letters are best consulted to be sure of the author.
