The Wenner Collections are comprised of thousands of rare books, manuscripts and papers that document mankind’s lengthy exploration of the physical sciences, space, Earth, climate, and more. The Collections represent more than 20 years of dedicated research, curation, restoration, and thoughtful storytelling by collector David Wenner.
Wenner’s first collection — The History of Physics — is now housed in the Niels Bohr Library at the American Institute of Physics. His second collection — The Science of Climate — was recently acquired by Peter Harrington Rare Books in London.
Wenner’s other collections across a host of other discoveries are in their final stages of completion.
“THIS tremendously expands and deepens our rare item collection...its value is not just in the individual items that are in the collection, but the way they’ve been collected, the way they’ve been catalogued and the stories they tell in and around the discoveries.”
— Michael Moloney, CEO, American Institute of Physics
