Hi, I wanted to know if someone is working on Richard P. Feynman's legacy library?

Nope. Do you have a source for the collection?

It seems CalTech has a lot of his papers in their archives. If anyone knows what happened to the collection, I imagine they would.

The Feynman Papers can be viewed by scholars having a bona fide research purpose, by appointment, at the Caltech Archives, in Pasadena, California. The contents of the collection is listed (by folder), online:

Hi Mike! It is always nice to see a professional on these groups.

Now we just have to find a bona fide reason to access the Caltech Archives :)

Conan Doyle was a big believer in spiritualism, so it's only fitting his ghost would show up at some point. ;)
