>> 2007 APS March Meeting: Fifty Years of BCS Theory Lectures

"BCS -- from Atoms and Nuclei to the Cosmos" (.pdf)
Invited Speaker: Gordon Baym, University of Illinois
"The Impact of the BCS Theory on 50 years of Superconductivity and Condensed Matter Physics" (.pdf)
Invited Speaker: John M. Rowell, Arizona State University


Some interesting links on the history of superconductivity:
