Organization

Fermilab has had many different departments, divisions, sections, and other organizational units over its history. The articles here document the history of some of these organizational units.

History and Archives Project Origins

The Fermilab History and Archives Office traces its origins back to the Fermilab History Committee, which was established in January 1977, as the lab approached its tenth anniversary. The lab’s first archivist, Lillian Hoddeson, began collecting Fermilab historical records and artifacts in January 1978.

Fermilab Library

Fermilab has had a library since at least June 1968, when Roger Thompson became the lab's head librarian. It was originally located in the Fermilab Village before moving to the third floor of Wilson Hall.
