This article offers an introduction to the notebooks of the American physicist John Archibald Wheeler (1911–2008) and argues that they represent a unique historical source. Several salient features of these notebooks are highlighted by following the example of the emergence of the concept of a “wormhole,” one of Wheeler's most famous ideas.
