FQxI members Nobel Prize Laureate Roger Penrose, Ivette Fuentes, and myself, request your help in order to save an archive of incredible scientific and historical value. Please raise awareness by *sharing*, or *contribute*: crowdfunder
It’s the life’s work of Mike Wright, who since the early 70’s has been recording scientific talks, well before anyone was doing anything like that, resulting in 100,000 hours of recordings. Just to mention a few names in it:
- Maths/CS: Grothendieck, Atiyah, Lawvere, MacLane, Eilenberg, Cartier, MacIntyre, Dana Scott, Kreisel…
- Physics: Penrose, Hawking, Wheeler, Ashtekar, Ward, Geroch, Sciama, Salam, Finkelstein, Bohm…
- Philosophy: Popper, Quine, Dummett, Davidson, Wiggins, Badiou, Redhead…
Of course, much was done with audio tapes and notes, or video tapes, which all need to be digitised. While a substantial portion is now digitised, some work still needs doing to reach the finishing line, which could be achieved in a bit over a year.
