Descriptive Entry
Descriptive Entry
This accession consists of the National Air and Space Museum website and mobile website as they existed on April 22, 2013. The website includes information about visiting the museum's facilities, special events, exhibitions, collections, staff, donations, and membership as well as educational resources, histories of various aspects of the museum, press releases, annual reports, and online exhibitions. The Washington, D.C. museum, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, and the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility are all documented in this single website. The mobile website includes much of the same content, but its design is optimized for viewing on a mobile device.
Also included in this accession is the museum's blog, "AirSpace: Behind the Scenes at the National Air and Space Museum," which was crawled April 22, 2013. The blog provides a place for staff to write about their behind the scenes work from their own points of view. The blog was opened in March 2009.
In addition, this accession includes the "How Things Fly" website, crawled in two pieces on April 30 and May 1, 2013. The website explains the basic principles that allow aircraft and spacecraft to fly. It is a companion website to the physical exhibition of the same name.
Materials are in electronic format.
