NASA Archives
Our Mission
The NASA Archives preserves and provides access to materials relating to NASA’s history, organization, and institutional knowledge to promote understanding and exploration of NASA’s mission across time and space.
ABOUT NASA ARCHIVES
We build, preserve, and provide meaningful access to historically, scientifically, and culturally significant collections for the life of the agency.
Across NASA’s centers, the Archives maintains physical and intellectual control of analog and digital archival collections, which serve as evidence to the NASA story.
Our collections span the formation of the first NACA research centers, starting in 1917, through the creation of NASA, in 1958, into the present.
Doing Historical Research
NASA archivists work to preserve and provide access to NASA’s knowledge, people, processes, and understanding so that it can be discoverable for generations to come. Use the NASA Archives Research Guide to browse available collections and learn where to find other sources of information about NASA history.
