Event Description

The NASA History Office has recently undertaken a major effort to build a centralized, applied history program capable of capturing and disseminating the agency’s history. This process has also included new, integrated approaches to analog and digital archiving. As they work to document ongoing NASA efforts, they continue to ask new questions and bring new perspectives and methodologies to bear on that past. Our engagement will include new symposia, workshops, publications, and program reviews. The hope is that this approach will enable NASA to chronicle ongoing programs; contextualize past accomplishments by asking now questions and including new perspectives; and equip current NASA leadership with a ‘usable past.’
