- Burndy_Library abstract "The Burndy Library is one of the world's largest libraries of books on the history of science and technology. Founded in 1941 in Norwalk, Connecticut by the electrical engineer, industrialist, and historian Bern Dibner, the library holdings include important scientific literature from antiquity to the 20th century. Highlights of the collection include one of the world's most complete set of the works of Isaac Newton, including books owned and annotated by Newton, as well as some sixty manuscripts by Newton, and important manuscript and print materials by Louis Pasteur, a 1544 edition of Archimedes' mathematical text Philosophi ac Geometrae and many important original works from the 18th and 19th centuries.The "Burndy" appellation was invented by Dibner and represents a portmanteau or blend of his first and last names.[citation needed]The library was originally located at the Burndy Engineering Company in Norwalk, Connecticut. In 1974 Dibner donated one-quarter of the library holdings to the Smithsonian Institution to form the nucleus of its research library in the history of science and technology. In 1976, the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology opened at the Smithsonian Institution and remains part of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries housed at the National Museum of American History, Behring Center in Washington, DC.The remainder of the Burndy Library collection remained in Norwalk until after Bern Dibner's death in 1988. It was moved to the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1992 with the establishment of the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology.In November 2006, the approximately 67,000 holdings of the Burndy Library were transferred to The Huntington Library in San Marino, California as a gift of the Dibner family and the Dibner Fund. The library offers a Dibner History of Science Program to fund fellowships, a lecture series and annual conference. It is one of the Huntington's most heavily-used collections, and continues to grow and expand through the Huntington's multi-faceted approach to collection use, conservation and management.".
