Contact the JSC History Collection Archivist

On February 8, 2001, UHCL signed a Memorandum of Understanding with NASA’s Johnson Space Center and the National Archives and Records Administration to provide "temporary transfer of custody and loan of historically significant records accumulated by JSC relating to human spaceflight." This MOU allows the records to be housed in the University Archives where researchers can access them.

The JSC History Collection at UHCL contains eight series documenting manned spaceflight programs:  Apollo, Skylab, Apollo Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), Shuttle, Station, Center, General Reference and Oral History. The collection was compiled by numerous historians working on chronologies and histories of the manned space flight programs. Documents were collected from various sources at JSC, contractor, and other NASA centers.  Donations will be considered. Please contact the Archivist.

The NASA Oral History Project began in the mid-1990s with a mission to identify key personnel involved with JSC activities and to interview them as part of the historical record. Materials housed at UHCL consist of biographical data books, and CD and/or cassette recordings.
