Am. J. Phys: 100 Memorable Papers

I have tried to include, for each lab, references to

	The appropriate original papers when available
	The Nobel lectures germane to this topic
	Papers which give historical background material
	Papers which develop the experimental approach we implement or similar approaches
	Papers which give theoretical development required for the analysis or theoretical insight into phenomena which crop up during the experiment
	Papers which give an alternate or advanced experimental approach

I have found the Nobel lectures to be superb laboratory references. They usually provide a reasonable balance of historical background and introductory theoretical introduction

The primary references used to compile this list are

	The American Journal of Physics and Physics Teacher
	Trigg, Landmark Experiments in Twentieth Century Physics
	Nobel Prize Lectures
	Mellisinos,
	Sproull
	Preston and Dietz
	Moore
