| Usage Tip | |
| Use of Resource: | "The NASA History Division serves two key functions: fulfilling the mandate of the 1958 "Space Act" calling for NASA to disseminate aerospace information as widely as possible, and helping NASA managers understand and thus benefit from the study of past accomplishment and difficulties. Thus, in addition to serving internal NASA customers, the NASA History Program is of great interest to a wide panoply of outside citizens who follow aerospace activities such as scholars, journalists, and students. While most of the NASA History Division products are scholarly in nature, they are also largely accessible to interested broader audiences." |
