LECTURES GIVEN BY D.K.C. MACDONALD

Finding Aid

Prepared by Lynn Delgaty in October, 1993

Title: D. K. C. MacDonald Collection Dates: 1961-1963.

Extent: 20 audio reels, 5 cm of textual records.

Biographical Sketch: Dr. David Keith Chalmers MacDonald (1920-1963) was born in Glasgow,

Scotland. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Ph.D. in 1946. As a Nuffield Research Fellow and an ICI Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, he received an MA in 1948 and D.Phil. in 1949. In 1951, Dr. MacDonald joined NRC to head a research group in the field of low temperature and solid state physics for the Division of Pure Physics. He remained with NRC until his death in 1963. In addition to his research, D.K.C. MacDonald published three books, gave university lectures and was especially known for his public talks, given frequently to both adults and children. He was named

Honorary Chairman of the Department of Physics at Ottawa University, a title he held from 1955-1960. He was later named Honorary Professor. In 1960 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Canadian

Association of Physicists and in 1963, the Gold Medal of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. Dr. MacDonald suffered from an increasingly disabling disease, muscular distrophy. Yet he continued to work, even from his hospital bed, until a week prior to his death in July of 1963.

Custodial History: These lectures were recorded and transcribed by Olgierd Celinski of Interactive

Learning Inc., of Ottawa. They were intended to help the 4th year Physics students at the University of Ottawa who had attended the lectures in 1961 and 1962. The collection was transferred to NRC Archives by Dr. Herzberg in September of 1993. It was arranged and described the following month.

Scope and Content: Fonds consists of transcripts and magnetic tape recordings of Dr. MacDonald’s

lectures pertaining to statistical thermodynamics. File list available.
