Fall Edition of News & Notes Highlights the NASA Archives
Get to know the NASA Archives in our
Fall 2024 issue of NASA History News & Notes!
With American Archives Month upon us, what better time is there to underscore the importance of NASAâs historical records and how they shape our understanding
of the agencyâs activities. NASAâs archivists preserve and provide access to the documents, photos, oral histories, and other media that illustrate the missions, programs, and people of the agency from its earliest days. These records help tell the story of
NASAâs work, its leaders, its triumphs, and challenges. They not only become the basis of historical research communicated in books and documentaries, but also inform managers, engineers, and program planners, and inspire new generations with lessons from
our past.

Jeffrey S. Nesbit is an
