I want the UMSF community to think about the concept of a Library
devoted to Space History. Perhaps, this is a function that is already
served by the Smithsonian Air and Space facility.

However, what concerns me is that there doen't seem to be one
main repository for all of the fascinating and significant data and
images and stories that I have seen displayed on the UMSF forum.

What does the community think about this concept? What can we
do to foster a library or an institute to serve as a entity devoted to
this subject that is dear to all of our hearts?

One great resource, about all sorts of scientific knowledge, is the Linda Hall Library. It is the world's largest library of science and technology. I can't begin to tell you how valuable it has been to my own research on the Soviet space program.

Strangely enough, it is in Kansas City. One of America's richest Corn magnates willed his entire estate to this project in the 1940s. I kid you not.
