Archival Adventures: Project Apollo
Archival Adventures: Project Apollo
It’s time for some Lunar Learning! This week we’re launching back into the James Dean Collection for a look at what it took to get us to the moon in the 1960s. Dean played a key role in the creation of the NASA art program. He became the NASA director of films, publications and television, then founding director of the Fine Arts Program at NASA from 1961-1974, after which he served as the Curator of Art at the National Air and Space Museum. In this, our third visit to his collection, we’ll explore the history of the Apollo Program! Learn more about the collection here: https://edushare.ing/Ms2003061
Join our community collections archivist, Anthony Wright de Hernandez, for a livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including university history, NASA pioneers, architecture, science fiction, cooking, LGBTQ+ history, Black history, urban legends, and more.
