Aviation/Space Exploration

This collection was most likely donated to the Case Archive of Contemporary Science and Technology. Parts of it are the collection of researcher John Tascher who wrote an essay on the society for which he received the Goddard Award for 1964. Acquisition information unknown.

Arrangement and description of the Cleveland Rocket Society Collection
The collection consists of two types of materials, those which were generated by the society during the years it existed ca. 1934-1938; and that material generated by John Tascher as he researched the society 1963-64. The collection is arranged by this division in the origins of the material and thus there are two series:

As a testament to the value of this material, numerous copies of this material (in various stages of revision) are found all over the web. Entering ``strobel astronomy'' in any of the internet search engines will bring up a lengthy list of some of the copies out there. If you find an old copy, please let the web site manager know of the official Astronomy Notes web site at www.astronomynotes.com

These are some timelines and a scales of measurement list that I have made. I am always working to improve them and would appreciate any comments. I put updates here occasionally. Feel free to grab and save any of these files and to pass them on to your friends.
Loved by "New Scientist" magazine! See the 30 July 1994 issue cover and page 35!
The TEX files below are in plain TEX and require no macro files. You need to have a DVI / POSTSCRIPT / PDF viewer hooked into your browser to look at the DVI / POSTSCRIPT / PDF files. I have converted some of the files into ASCII and might convert the others soon. If anyone has already done this, I would be most interested.

Founded in 1848 to represent all disciplines of science, AAAS supports scientific exchange and discussion of science and society issues. The AAAS Archives document the Association’s past activities. This website provides a historical overview and a searchable database of information on people, meetings, official documents, and publications.

ARTHUR MIDDLETON YOUNG (1905 - 1995), inventor of the Bell Helicopter,
cosmologist, philosopher and author of The Reflexive Universe and The Geometry of
Meaning, addresses issues in physics, mathematics, consciousness and evolution.
Author Tom Robbins calls Arthur Young "the greatest theoretical genius since Einstein."
At this website you can explore Young's "Theory of Process" through his writings and
his extensive video and audio legacy. Learn about ongoing work to extend the
theory into new areas from medicine, cognitive science, brain research and cellular
biology to developmental psychology, problem solving and organizational planning.

This guide describes the scientific and technological manuscript collections in the Special Collections Department of the University Libraries at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech. The department contains approximately 4500 cubic feet of manuscript material (the personal papers of individuals and families, and the records of businesses and organizations) spanning the years from the fifteenth century to the present, with the greatest concentration of material in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The Archives of American Aerospace Exploration (AAAE) was founded by the Digital Library and Archives of the University Libraries of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in April of 1986. Its purpose is to find, preserve, and make available to researchers collections of correspondence, notes, photographs, written or recorded reminiscences, memorabilia, oral histories, as well as any other items that document American aeronautical and space history. The AAAE seeks such collections from pilots, astronauts, researchers in industry and academia, NASA administrators and project managers, and any others who have played a part in the development of United States aerospace history.

The Women of NASA resource was developed to encourage more young women to pursue careers in math, science, and technology. Throughout history, women have made valuable contributions to these fields. Although these disciplines are still dominated by men, and these women are seen as exceptions, there is a growing appreciation of cultural and gender diversity in the workplace. The Women of NASA interactive project showcases outstanding women who are enjoying successful careers and demonstrates how these women balance personal and professional responsibilities.
The main components of the project are the interactive events which include live chats, forums, and webcasts and offer participants the opportunity to dialogue with the featured mentor. You will also find the profiles and archived events a rich source of information on the NASA women and their work.
