Collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice. Because of the nature of certain archival formats, including digital and audio-visual materials, access will require additional advanced notice. Unless noted, digital media are not available online. Copies of unrestricted digital files will be provided for use in the SCRC Reading Room upon request. Access will be provided to use copies of unrestricted digital files rather than carrier media, such as CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. Some or all electronic files may be unavailable or restricted due to privacy reasons, agreement with the donor, software is not available to interact with files, or because files cannot be retrieved from original media.
The Gerald Katzin Notebooks collection, circa 1960-1974, contains Gerald Katzin's class notebooks for physics and mathematics classes. These notebooks include homework and notes on such topics as electromagnetism, kinetic theory, and boundary values. Some have NC State's seal and printed text on the cover indicating they were purchased from the university's student supply store. The collection also includes a compass used for drawing circles and arcs.
Gerald "Jerry" Katzin was born on August 2, 1932 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to Nathan and Bertha Kolodny Katzin. He was a physics student at NC State University during the 1950s and early 1960s. After he earned his Ph.D. in Physics at NC State, he became a professor at State and taught physics until he retired. His most significant research included work on curvature collineations. Katzin died on December 14, 2020 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
