The Pauli bequest with countless items of correspondence, manuscripts and photos can be found in the external pageCERN Archivein Geneva, where a Salle Pauli has been established. The external pagePauli Committee is responsible for use of the holdings. When it met in August 1999 the committee decided that in future there would be a Pauli Archive in two locations. This second location is at the ETH Library in Zurich. Kept here in the History of Science Collections are various exchanges of correspondence (including with Markus Fierz and Jung) and in the ETH Zurich University Archives service records from his time at ETH. In honour of the great physicist’s memory, ETH Zurich has since the 1960s regularly held Pauli lectures with high-profile speakers.
