As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, museums and archives across the country are looking at the people, events, industries, and technologies that shaped the nation. Aviation and space exploration are an important part of that history. Flight changed how people traveled, fought wars, communicated, conducted research, and understood the world beyond Earth.
As 2025 draws to a close, the San Diego Air & Space Museum’s Library & Archives finds itself at a crossroads of progress and perseverance. This year has been marked by major milestones in preservation, digitization, and community engagement, as well as challenges that have tested our resilience. From fragile blueprints and rare photographs to orphaned donations and digital surrogates, our work continues to be guided by one principle: safeguarding history with integrity for the generations yet to come.
The staff of the Library & Archives have a lot to talk about in this exciting edition of Researcher News for Spring 2025.
The Library & Archives is excited to provide a summary of accomplishments to our patrons, donors, and supporters in this Winter 2024 issue of Researcher News.
