The NASA History Office has recently undertaken a major effort to build a centralized, applied history program capable of capturing and disseminating the agency’s history. This process has also included new, integrated approaches to analog and digital archiving. As we work to document ongoing NASA efforts, we continue to ask new questions and bring new perspectives and methodologies to bear on that past. Our engagement will include new symposia, workshops, publications, and program reviews. Our hope is that this approach will enable us to chronicle ongoing programs; contextualize past accomplishments by asking now questions and including new perspectives; and equip current NASA leadership with a ‘usable past.’ To achieve this end, we invite feedback from and collaboration with aerospace historians and related interdisciplinary groups.
