Hi everyone:

Yes, we are! At the University of Arizona, our Special Collections dept. has an exhibit, opening event and series of talks, see http://speccoll.library.arizona.edu/exhibits/moon.

There’s also a number of events planned campus-wide, https://uanews.arizona.edu/story/mapping-moon-and-worlds-beyond

Subject: Moon Landing 50th Anniversary

Just wondering if any depositories are doing any displays/exhibits and programs commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing on July 20th.

This certainly would be a great opportunity for the depository to shine.

You could:

-- Invite astronomers to speak about the significance of the event and what the future entails.

-- Talk about water in the moon.

-- Use titles and posters featuring NASA astronauts,  CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, Congressional hearings,  etc from the collection.

-- Feature video of the lunar landing

-- Create programs for kids to get them excited about astronomy such as NASA coloring books.

-- Get science teachers to do nifty experiments and demonstrations

There are so many things you could do.
