Presented here are examples of publications covering a wide variety of space topics for use in the study of historical events. The goal is to provide a resource for collectors by assembling a repository of information regarding a selection of topics not covered elsewhere online.

The majority of research presented here was compiled by collectors themselves and is not availible for purchase anywhere at this time. To that fact, numerous items from the 1950's and 60's exist as only a singluar copy held within a public institution. In a time when hand-typed newsletters were prepared by collectors, mailed, information digested, and thrown away; it is thanks to a few dedicated individualds that we are able to read these periodicals today. They have been digitially scanned for preservation purposes as well as to provide access for study, namely answering the question: "what was known by collectors at the time of the event?" Additional articles have been presented here at the request of the author to further enchance the collection and study of items. These may not be further reproduced or sold and where applicable a link has been provided to the original source material.
