Item #3 -- Einstein's Notes Now Online: The Einstein Archives Online, a
collaboration between Caltech and Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
recently made available high-resolution images of more than 3,000 pages
of Einstein's notes from research projects, lectures, and
speeches.  The digitized documents are drawn from the Hebrew
University's Einstein Archives. They include a 43-page notebook from
1912 and 1913, known as the "Zurich Notebook" that shows foundational
work on his Theory of General Relativity.  Some of the documents are
being made available for the first time.  For more information, tap
