The following list gives the authors, titles, and references to initial publication in the American Journal of Physics of the first one hundred Resource Letters, beginning with #1 on "Polarized Light" by Shurcliff in 1962 and ending with #100 on "Time and Frequency Measurement" by Hackman and Sullivan in this issue.
Many of the published Resource Letters were accompanied by the publication of a Reprint Book, containing the text of the Resource Letter itself as well as reprints of some of the key articles referred to. Although many of the early Reprint Books are now out of print, many are still available, as indicated by asterisks in the following list. In addition, Reprint Books are now in preparation for some, though not all, of the recently published Resource Letters. For information, write to:
