Apollo Documents Digitized
Anyone who does any kind of research knows how far we have to go towards digitizing printed collections of documents. Last spring I did a research project at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and was surprised to learn that there are no plans to digitize anything from that important collection in the near future due to a lack of funding.
My ears perked up recently when I learned that the Forsyth Library at Fort Hays State University has been working to digitize the Apollo document collection of the Kansas Cosmosphere. This video is from the press conference announcing the online publication of documents from the Apollo 1 accident investigation which once belonged to Jack Swigert and were given to Charlie Duke who donated them to the museum.
Anyone interested in NASA history and the Apollo space missions should check out the online documents here: http://www.fhsu.edu/forsyth_lib/digital/space/
