Curtis L. Hemenway 1956-1978

Hemenway was the director of Dudley Observatory from 1956 to 1978. The records in this series cover the years 1956 to 1978, but most of the materials are post-1960. Materials consist of correspondence, subject files, scientific papers and a few audio tapes. The records also document some of Hemenway's activities at SUNY (State University of New York), COSPAR (Committee on Space Research of the International Council of Scientific Unions), NYAC and the Albany Institute of History and Art. The bulk of the series constitutes assorted files of research papers and records of Dudley administrative concerns. The COSPAR subseries includes agendas, notes and records of COSPAR meetings from 1962 to 1978 and papers presented by Hemenway at the meetings. Some copies of the COSPAR publication -- COSPAR Information Bulletin -- are interfiled in the series. This series also includes audio tapes of the IAU meeting that was held in Albany in June 1971. Arrangement is by topic and within topic either chronological or reverse chronological. A large subseries of miscellaneous files is arranged chronologically. [3.5 lin. ft. - 130 folders]
