James, I can't really recall what kind of cataloging has been done on Harry's paperwork at NASM. I know they have at least a partial catalog of his physical item donations. MOF on the other hand has hired an archivist to begin cataloging Harry's collection, including the huge paperwork collection. She was hired with help of fundraising by the NAR. That has continued because they will spend years cataloging Harry's, then Vern's, then Lee's donations. Photo below is of Emma standing in front of the beginnings of sorting of Harry's correspondence at MOF. And, yes, that entire rack is for Harry paperwork. Steve |

Steve- Do you know (or does anyone else) whether all that will be (eventually) scanned and put on-line by chance? Earl

That question was asked of Amy Heidrick, the MoF curator in charge of the Stine collection, at NARCON a couple of year ago. Her response was no, as the cost would be prohibitive. OOTH, there *are* plans to scan many of the photographic elements of the Stine holdings, and many of these materials are already on the MoF Flickr account. There is a finding aid that has been put together by the Museum of Flight that will serve as a guide to researchers, and the holdings have been assembled into a logical order as a result of this work: https://archives.museumofflight.org...2/resources/268 I fear that we are getting way off topic from the original subject of this thread!

Ok, thanks. I figured it was a long shot (and yes, would be expensive for sure), but I did not know the extent or scope of the archivist’s scope of work. And with that, back to your regularly scheduled message thread! Earl

Bob, my old friend, have you ever considered writing a book? I cannot think of anyone that I have met and talked with that has more information about the history of our hobby.

George (And everyone), Thanks for the kind comments concerning my writing about the history of this fine hobby. I doubt I will ever write a book on the subject but I did at one time have a plan. After my Enerjet article was published in LAUNCH Magazine I thought I would write a series of history articles concerning hobby rocket companies that had closed. The first up was Cox Hobbies. I had completed a full outline for an article and written the introduction when I was pulled into some other project. Before I could finish the Cox article LAUNCH magazine closed up shop. I was disappointed because Mark Mayfield was an excellent editor and had worked with me to make my Enerjet article better than it was originally written. A few months later I stumbled onto some additional information about Cox and realized I would need to revise my article before submitting it anywhere else for publication but never proceeded any further. I have file boxes full of stuff about dozens of rocket companies big and small. There is some fun material in those boxes...
