Niels Bohr was one of the founders of modern atomic and nuclear physics. He was born into a family of intellectual and academic distinction. His father, Christian Bohr (1855–1911), was a professor of physiology; his brother, Harald Bohr (1887–1951), was a professor of mathematics; and his son, Aage Bohr (b. 1922), a professor of physics—all of them at the University of Copenhagen.
Aage Niels Bohr (born in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 19, 1922) is the son of Margrethe and Niels Bohr. (Seemingly) following his father's footsteps, he chose the career of a nuclear physicist, possibly the outcome of growing up among physicists like Wolfgang Pauli and Werner Heisenberg.

Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein debating quantum theory at Paul Ehrenfest's home in Leiden (December 1925). Niels Bohr and his wife Margrethe Nørlund had six children. Two died young, and most of the others went on to lead successful lives. One, Aage Niels Bohr... became a very successful physicist; like his father, he won a Nobel Prize. When awarded the Order of the Elephant by the Danish government, he designed his own coat of arms which featured a yin-yang.

Niels Bohr came from a very distinguished scientific family in Copenhagen, Denmark. His father, Christian, was professor of physiology at Copenhagen and his brother Harald was a mathematician of great distinction. (His own son, Aage, was later to win the 1975 Nobel Prize for physics.) Bohr was educated at the University of Copenhagen where he obtained his PhD in 1911. After four productive years with Ernest Rutherford in Manchester, Bohr returned to Denmark becoming in 1918 director of the newly created Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Some papers of more recent origin - notably those of Aage Bohr, Niels Bohr's son, and of solid-state physicist Allan Mackintosh have ... been deposited. These collections have been organised and described with the help of a grant from the American Institute of Physics (AIP). A more complete list as well as descriptions of the collections are to be found on the NBA website.
