Brief History of Dirac Science Library
An early dream of the science faculty hired in 1949 and the early 1950s, groundbreaking for the library took place in October 1985. Three years later, in October 1988, the science collection was moved from the Robert Manning Strozier Library to its current location as the Science Center Library. A year later, the building was dedicated as the Paul A.M. Dirac Science Library, in honor of the Nobel prize winning physicist who was on the faculty at FSU from 1970-1984.
The Dirac Science Library serves students and researchers in all of the sciences on the Tallahassee FSU campus and the many programs not on the main campus. The Library is home to collections such as photography and hospitality and restaurant management, as well as the traditional "hard sciences" of mathematics, chemistry, biology and physics. The Library also houses the Paul A.M. Dirac Collection, an archive of Professor Dirac's papers.
