Biographical / Historical

Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969. Like some of its predecessors, the Saturn V rocket escaped Earth's gravity and entered lunar orbit, but unlike anything before it, Apollo 11 actually landed on the moon on July 20.

Apollo 11 was the culmination of decades of research, and by putting the first men on the moon, it made hopes and dreams reality. July 20, 2019 was the 50th anniversary of one giant leap for mankind.

Processing Information

Collections are processed to a variety of levels, depending on the work necessary to make them usable, their perceived research value, the availability of staff, and competing priorities. The library attempts to provide a basic level of preservation and access for all collections as they are acquired and does more extensive processing of higher priority collections as time and resources permit.
