NASA and Internet Archive Team to Digitize Space Imagery

["=3D?ISO-8859-1?Q?Carlos_Narvaez" <crakup@gmail.com>]

NASA and Internet Archive of San Francisco are partnering to
scan, archive and manage the agency's vast collection of
photographs, historic film and video. The imagery will be
available through the Internet and free to the public,
historians, scholars, students and researchers.

Currently, NASA has more than 20 major imagery collections
online. With this partnership, those collections will be made
available through a single, searchable "one-stop-shop" archive of
NASA imagery....

NASA selected Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization, as a
partner for digitizing and distributing agency imagery through a
competitive process. The two organizations are teaming through a
non-exclusive Space Act agreement to help NASA consolidate and
digitize its imagery archives at no cost to the agency....

Under the terms of this five-year agreement, Internet Archive
will digitize, host and manage still, moving and
computer-generated imagery produced by NASA....

In addition, Internet Archive will work with NASA to create a
system through which new imagery will be captured, catalogued and
included in the online archive automatically. To open this wealth
of knowledge to people worldwide, Internet Archive will provide
free public access to the online imagery, including downloads and
search tools....
