In 1977, Stachel became the first document editor of the Einstein Papers Project, then at Boston University. The first two volumes (out of a projected twenty-five) of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein were published during his tenure. The trio of Einstein scholars studying the hole argument, John D. Norton, John Stachel, and John Earman, have sometimes been jokingly referred to as John3 = John Norton × John Stachel × John Earman.[1]
Stachel was head of the Boston University Center for Einstein Studies and, together with Don Howard, published the book series Einstein Studies.
Stachel also authored a text, entitled Einstein: From 'B' to 'Z'.[2] In 2005, he delivered the British Academy's Master-Mind Lecture.[3]
