The University of Cincinnati Libraries recently received an unexpected addition to the Neil Armstrong Commemorative Archives. Presented at UC College of Engineering & Applied Science’s The Next Giant Leap<\/em> \u2013 a celebration of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the first lunar landing \u2013 these new documents and photos touch on several aspects of Mr. Armstrong\u2019s professional life, including his work as an astronaut and his major transition from a NASA administrative position to faculty member at UC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are thankful to Rick and Mark Armstrong for their thoughtful generosity and willingness to share these memories of their father to preserve his inimitable legacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UC is honored to be stewards of these archives at the University of Cincinnati\nLibraries. Our students take great pride in knowing that UC was the chosen home\nfor Professor Armstrong. The stories of his life come alive when shared\nalongside original items such as these and provide inspiration to both our\nfaculty and our students while continuing to emphasize that UC is a place of\ninnovation and service to the world. These items signify that when ideas about\nexploration are put forth, UC continues to broaden its historical mission in\nmaking them real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Armstrong Collection is primary source documents that are unique and, with the Libraries\u2019 creative digital practices, can be made available to everyone in Cincinnati, the United States and around the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
