http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733102977

The collection came to the archives directly from Dr. Albee's office in 16 unnumbered boxes.The collection was organized by subject, and loosely chronologically. Original order is followed. Original box titles are noted in sequence in bold. Most folders were not originally titled, but for those that were the title appears in quotes after the box number and before the description of the box contents. A number of published documents and reference materials were removed from the collection, but a list of those documents is provided in appendix A in order to help capture the scientific inquiries that Dr. Albee was making. This collection includes documents that Arden Albee either acquired or created during the period he participated in planetary and lunar exploration projects for JPL from 1961-2006, with the bulk of the collection dating from 1971-1996. The projects include the Mars Airplane, The Mars Rover/ Sample Return missions, Pathfinder, Mars Observer, Mars Global Surveyor, and the Soviet joint Mars missions, along with projects that were not implementedsuch as the Mars Airplane. There are a number of related collections in the Archives including mission and directors collections.
