STScI Operations Management and Instrument Reports Artificial Collection

This collection consists of documents, photographs, and booklets dated between 1977 and 2017. The bulk of the materials was produced between 1980 and 2010, with the majority produced in the 1990s. The collection was artificially created from materials of unknown provenance that had been gathered and partially digitized by the STScI Library staff prior to the formal creation of the Institutional Archive. It largely focuses on STScI operations management and Hubble Space Telescope instrument documentation. Some of the major topics are instrument handbooks and science and technical reports, STScI management proposal reports, assorted correspondence and educational publications, guaranteed time observer (GTO) and general observer documents, and Science Verification Working Group meeting minutes and presentations. The documents are organized according to how they were originally found in the Institutional Archive storage.
