In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As part of it, they conducted interviews with physicists who had helped found the field three or four decades earlier. Out of more than 100 interviewees, only two were women.
