Archives

The reference staff provides a range of research services, including assistance with locating historical records and answering questions related to JPL's projects and activities. Cataloged records are available for research use by JPL and NASA personnel, contractors and the general public.

BEACON-Archives, the searchable on-line catalog, contains bibliographic information about processed collections that are available for research use. Records are inventoried to the document or file folder level, and many folder listings, available through the catalog in PDF format, can be viewed and searched using Acrobat Reader software. Portions of the Archives History Collection and the oral history collection are currently indexed in the catalog. Contact the Reference Desk for assistance with these materials.
