Space Telescope collection, 1962-1991.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50287341

The Space Telescope collection is a group of records compiled by Robert W. Smith while researching and writing his book, The Space Telescope: A Study of NASA, Science, Technology and Politics. The collection contains correspondence files, scientific plans, reports, publications, administrative records and subject files from various NASA centers, universities, research groups and contractors who were active in the development of the Hubble and the STScI. Because this record group is an artificial collection, the documents come from a variety of sources. They do not provide complete documentation of either the Space Telescope or the agencies who contributed to its development.
