Papers, etc.
Most of Milne’s papers are at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. There is a detailed catalog of his papers and correspondence by Jeannine Alter & Peter Harper. The Niels Bohr Library & Archives, holds an unpublished typescript, “Recollections and Reflections on E.A. Milne” by S. Chandrasekhar. Milne is mentioned in many oral history transcripts there, especially those of S. Chandrasekhar and H.H. Plaskett.
