JPL Unmounted Still Image Collection, 1979-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100163

The collection contains unmounted positive photographic contact prints, enlargements and negatives. These images were taken by Voyager 1 and 2 and the Viking Orbiter. Others show spacecraft and Shuttle launches, aerial views of JPL, pictures of JPL personnel, technological and industrial images and photographs of the 1989 visit by Vice President Dan Quayle to JPL. Most of the positive prints are 4 by 5 inches; a few are 2 1/4 inch squares. Negatives range from 35 mm to 8 by 10 inches. Most of the images have an associated JPL Still Image Negative number such as P, JPL, or 3 digit prefix. Other images with no numbered identification may not be a part of the JPL Still Image Negative set.
