The physics archives (8/91)

The physics archives include astro-ph, cond-mat, gr-qc, hep-ex, hep-lat, hep-ph, hep-th, math-ph, nucl-ex,nucl-th, physics and quant-ph. The first archive, hep-th, was created in August 1991 (see early arXiv messages).

We have recently launched a the Quantitative Finance (q-fin) archive to house articles that have historically been submitted to cond-mat or physics.soc-ph.

Since the reformulation of the arXiv identifiers in April 2007, the physics reorganization proposed in 2005 is no longer necessary. A division of the astro-ph archive, however, is still in development.

The arXiv Physics Advisory Committee:

The advisory committee members serve as consultants to the Cornell University Library and to the arXiv advisory board. All arXiv policy decisions are ultimately made by Cornell University Library.
