The catalog publication of the Hawking Archive presents a collection of Hawking papers, including a paper by Dr. Katrina Dean and Hawking Archivist Susan Gordon in the Science Museum Group Journal. The Science Museum is home to more than 1,000 objects from Professor Hawking, with a birthday greeting from former US President Bill Clinton. Hawking’s family agreed to make his work freely available under a landmark agreement in 2021. The archive reveals Hawking’s activism for nuclear disarmament, disability rights, and support for scientists during the Cold War. Letters show his persistence in advocating for better disabled access in various institutions. Hawking’s legacy is highlighted through his extensive campaigning efforts.
