Marc Rothenberg
became agency historian for the National Science Foundation
in December 2006, after thirty-one years with the Joseph Henry
Papers Project at the Smithsonian Institution. He left the Smithsonian
after overseeing the completion of the eleventh, and last, volume
of the Papers of Joseph Henry, now in press (Science
History Publications/USA). A historian of astronomy, physics,
and American scientific institutions, with publications in such
journals as Historical Records of Australian Science, The
Astronomical Journal, Pacific Science, Osiris, and The
Journal for the History of Astronomy, Rothenberg first
became interested in the history of polar research in the 1970s
while conducting research for exhibitions concerned with the
scientific exploration of North America for the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia and the American Museum of Natural
History.
