Paratext is happy to announce another recent addition to United States Masterfile: the NASA Index to Photograph Files, 1958-1991.

This resource joins the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Repository and the NASA Planetary Data System Digital Products archive in United States Masterfile, giving researchers access to a wider variety of NASA-derived resources than ever before.

Providing searchable descriptions of nearly 65 thousand images produced by NASA from the late 1950s to the early 1990s, NASA Index to Photograph Files, 1958-1991 combines two electronic indexes of NASA images made available through National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) catalogs: the “NASA Index to Color Photograph Files documenting the period 1958 - 1983” and the “NASA Index to Black and White Photograph Files, documenting the period 1958 - 1991.”

 

Within the NASA Index to Photograph Files, find descriptions of images relating to NASA’s early use of simulators to train astronauts, weather satellite monitoring of dust bowl-sized dust storms, the development of space-friendly foods for in-flight eating, and much more.
