Biographical Note
Gerard P. Kuiper was born in The Netherlands in the town of Harenkarspel on December 7,
1905. He entered Leiden University in 1924 and received his Bachelor of Science in 1927.
Kuiper immediately continued his graduate studies and received his Ph.D. in Astronomy in
1933. While completing his advanced studies, he was an assistant observer at the Leiden
Observatory, 1928-1933. From 1933-1935, he was a Kellogg Fellow under American
astronomer Robert Grant Aiken at Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, California. In 1935,
Kuiper went to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Massachusetts as a lecturer in
Astronomy. There he met Sara Parker Fuller and they married on June 20, 1936. They had
two children, Paul Hayes (born in 1941) and Sylvia Lucy Ann (born in 1947).
In 1936,
Gerard Kuiper accepted a job at Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago as an
assistant professor of Practical Astronomy. In 1937, he became an American citizen and
was appointed associate professor. Kuiper became a full professor in 1943, and in 1947
Kuiper became the director of the Yerkes and McDonald Observatories.
In 1960, he
resigned from Yerkes Observatory and relocated to the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Some of his best known discoveries during his tenure at the University of Chicago
include: the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan in 1944, the carbon dioxide atmosphere of
Mars in 1948, Uranus's satellite Miranda in 1948, and Neptune's satellite Nereid in
1949. In 1960, Kuiper established the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL), first as
part of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and later as a separate unit at the
University of Arizona.
In his years at LPL Kuiper established a group of telescopes in
the Santa Catalina Mountains above Tucson; made balloon spectroscopic observations of
the Earth's atmosphere; and conducted observatory site surveys in Hawaii, Mexico, and
California. He was principal investigator on the NASA Ranger program, and as an
experimenter on the Surveyor programs in the mid 1960s. Kuiper also served on numerous
NASA Committees and Panels and briefed many high government officials on features of the
space program. Kuiper died on a vacation trip in Mexico City on December 24, 1973.
Gerard P. Kuiper is considered by many to be the father of modern planetary science. In
1975, Kuiper was posthumously honored by NASA when the airborne infrared telescope was
named the "Kuiper Airborne Observatory". He was honored again in 1984 with the
establishment of the Kuiper Prize by the American Astronomical Society Division of
Planetary Science, and in 1992 when the Kuiper Belt was named after him.
Scope and Content Note
This collection consists of the personal and professional papers of Gerard Peter Kuiper.
The bulk of the material consists of his correspondence with other noted astronomers and
scientists. His research including his work with NASA on the Ranger, Apollo, Mariner,
Surveyor, Viking, and Orbiter Projects during the late 1950s through the early 1970s.
Other items in the collection are his administrative papers pertaining to the Lunar
Planetary Laboratory, publications; newspaper clippings; and photographs. There is also
detailed account of Kuiper's involvement as a member of the ALSOS mission in Germany in
1945 and the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union following World
War II. This series is arranged alphabetically by subject. It contains awards received
by Gerard Kuiper throughout his career, some bibliographies he created, personal
calendars, a copy of his doctoral dissertation, program from his memorial service and
the Dedication of the Gerard P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory. Also included are
inventories, one from 1924, and the other a list of books which were in his office when
he died. There are also copies of the "Kuiper Philosophy" from 1942 through 1973. This
series includes documents from Kuiper's professional career, arranged by location of
employment. This series contains personal and professional correspondence and is
arranged alphabetically by name. It contains both incoming and outgoing mail. There are
also correspondence in the following folders: see also; University of Chicago
correspondence, International Astronomical Union correspondence, National Academy of
Science correspondence, NASA, Ames Research Center, NASA Apollo Project correspondence,
NASA Comet Conference, NASA correspondence, NASA Ranger correspondence, Solar System
correspondence, Stars and Stellar Systems correspondence, United States Air Force (USAF)
correspondence. This series is arranged alphabetically and contains photographs,
correspondence, documents and blueprints of telescopes, facilities, and observatories
which were operated or constructed during the tenure of Gerald Kuiper as the director of
LPL. This series is arranged alphabetically. It is a record of Dr. Kuiper's writing
career. Is is divided into 6 subseries: Solar System. Stars and Stellar Systems,
articles, lectures, papers. Atlases. Book Chapters. Notes The series is arranged
alphabetically. Research files are divided into six series: Asteroid Program
(1949-1954), Proposals with Dr. Kuiper's involvement (1946-1972), Subject files
(1894-1973), Hawaii (1957-1970), Chilean Project 1959-1963, Site Surveys 1964-1973. This
series is arranged chronologically. The bulk of the trips are to the Soviet Union from

series documents Dr. Kuiper's activities during World War II as a member of the ALSOS
Mission. It contains reports, interviews, correspondence, articles and also an account
of military, naval and air operations in the Netherlands. The ALSOS Mission was part of
the Manhattan Project, an effort during World War II by Great Britain and the United
States to create an atomic bomb. The ALSOS Mission followed the Allied invasion of Italy
in September 1943, to investigate the German nuclear energy project. The ALSOS Mission
personnel followed close behind the front lines, and occasionally behind enemy lines,
first in Italy, and later in France and Germany. ALSOS personnel managed to find and
remove many of the German research effort's personnel, along with a substantial portion
of the surviving records and equipment. This series has two Subseries. The first is the
Street Lighting for the Morningside addition, 1965-1966. This second contains reports,
correspondence, meeting minutes, petitions, and specifications. The second series is the
Tucson police helicopter surveillance, 1972. The bulk of this series is correspondence
between Dr. Kuiper and the City of Tucson. This series contains oversized materials

This series is arranged chronologically. The series documents Dr. Kuiper's
activities during World War II as a member of the ALSOS Mission. It contains
reports, interviews, correspondence, articles and also an account of military,
naval and air operations in the Netherlands.
The ALSOS Mission was part of the Manhattan Project, an effort during World War
II by Great Britain and the United States to create an atomic bomb. The ALSOS
Mission followed the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943, to investigate
the German nuclear energy project. The ALSOS Mission personnel followed close
behind the front lines, and occasionally behind enemy lines, first in Italy, and
later in France and Germany. ALSOS personnel managed to find and remove many of
the German research effort's personnel, along with a substantial portion of the
surviving records and equipment.
Existence and Location of Copies
Digitized copies available for ALSOS Mission materials containted in Box 57
Folders 15-17.
This series has two Subseries. The first is the Street Lighting for the
Morningside addition, 1965-1966. This second contains reports, correspondence,
meeting minutes, petitions, and specifications. The second series is the Tucson
police helicopter surveillance, 1972. The bulk of this series is correspondence
between Dr. Kuiper and the City of Tucson.
The slides date from March 1948 through October 1974. The majority of slides
appears to be taken by Dr. Kuiper and are of a personal nature; they include
pictures of his family, his gardens, his houses in Tucson and Chicago, visitors,
trips, vacations. There are some work related slides including (but not limited
to); lava, Mt Lemmon, Tomanoc Hill, Kitt Peak, Catalina Observatory, air pollution
and smog, Hawaii, NASA, etc.
The slides in this subseries are organized into yellow slide boxes. Slide boxes
(folders) 1 through 263 are dated from 1952 to 1974. Slide boxes numbered 263
to 372 are undated. The majority of boxes do have labels. Labels have been
transcribed to the best of archivist's ability, April 1965 – May 1973.
