Very nice. Would love to see more, or "everything" :) After visiting NASA HQ History and NASM Archives many times, I don't suppose you have "behind the scenes, we are not sure what all these stuff is" tours for enthusiasts who would be happy with a foot high stack of papers and more artwork to go through? Oh well, just dreaming :) Thanks for the YT.

Atlantic Missile Range Memories

Quote
Jul 24, 2023  CAPE CANAVERAL
Best viewed on a laptop, these are original VIP briefing slides from Patrick AFB.  Combined they tell, once again, the story of the Atlantic Missile Range and it's succeeding incarnations, as it grew from raw lands to the amazing rocket tracking range it is today!

It looks like their archives are on the base. However I think you’d enjoy the Sands centre, we did

I have been to the Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum archives briefly a few months ago. I got to talk to the museum director. They have a lot of material that has not been indexed. They have hundreds of video tapes of launches (yeah, video) that needs to be digitized. They also have a lot of facility records, like blueprints of launch complexes. And they have a lot of photographs of operations and launches at the base. It is not currently easy to use the facility, but they are working to improve that.

I think quite a few of you would enjoy the long feature on the AMR in the October 59 National Geographic:

The museum director has a fun Twitter feed, worth checking out. He just did a short video about Jupiter and posted these links:

Early this year I got to look at some of their collection and there was some neat stuff in there. I am not doing any research related to those subjects, but it struck me that simply perusing the collection for a few hours would be fun. One of the things I saw was one of the original proposals for managing the operations at the base. It was in perfect condition and provided insight into how the range was set up and managed in its very early days. I'll try to find some of my images and post them.
