    Administrative InformationProvenanceThe archives of the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences in the American Institute of Aeronauticsand Astronautics were given to Library of Congress by the American Institute of Aeronautics andAstronautics in 1964. Additions were received in 1965 and 1966. The archives were organizedbeginning in 1939 and discontinued in 1962. The records include material donated to the institute'sarchives by private collectors.Processing HistoryThe archives of the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences in the Library of Congress were processedin 1966. Revisions were made to the collection in 1986, after scrapbooks relating to the Wrightbrothers were microfilmed, and again in 1994. A portion of the collection was rehoused in 2003,but the organization of the material remained unchanged. Although the finding aid and containerlist were revised to indicate the current housing, the container numbers noted in the microfilm ofthe Wright brothers scrapbooks reflect the original housing.TransfersPrints, drawings, posters, photographs, and other illustrated material pertaining to Bela ClaraLandauer in the collection have been transferred to the Prints and Photographs Division where theyare identified as part of these papers.

    Scope and Content NoteThe American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics was formed by the merger in 1963 of theInstitute of the Aerospace Sciences and the American Rocket Society. The material contained inthis collection comes from the aeronautical archives of the former Institute of the AerospaceSciences. The archives was first formerly organized in 1939 and was discontinued in 1962, by whichtime it contained one of the most extensive files of aeronautical material in the world. When it wasdiscontinued, the Smithsonian Institution, the Connecticut Historical Society, and the Library ofCongress received various segments of the collection. The collection is organized in six series:Biographical Files, Aircraft Company Files, Miscellany, Scrapbooks, Material Removed fromScrapbooks after Microfilming, and Oversize.The material given by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics does not containrecords of the institute itself. It represents only aeronautical subject files collected between theyears 1939 and 1962. These information files are supplemented by scrapbooks and a smallmiscellaneous group of papers. The files run the gamut of aeronautical history from theMontgolfiers and the first balloon flight to the development of the modern air force. The collectioncontains two types of information files, biographical and corporate.The Biographical Files consist of newspaper clippings, articles, biographical questionnaires,printed matter, and occasional primary material. Among the prominent files are those for HenryHarley Arnold, Thomas S. Baldwin, Louis Bleroit, Richard Evelyn Byrd, Clarence Chamberlain,Octave Chanute, Glenn Hammond Curtiss, James Harold Doolittle, Amelia Earhart, C. G. Grey,Frank Hawks, Henry Allen Hazen, William S. Henson, Maurice Holland, Howard Hughes(1905-1976), John Jeffries, Charles Edward Kingsford-Smith, Alexander Klemin, Roy Knabenshue,S. P. Langley, Charles A. Lindbergh, T. S. C. Lowe, John Mack, Glenn L. Martin, James V. Martin,

  • William Mitchell, Wiley Post, Eddie Rickenbacker, Alberto Santos-Dumont, T. O. Selfridge,Alexander P. De Seversky, Igor Ivan Sikorsky, A. Leo Stevens, J. T. Trippe, Edward Pearson Warner,Orville Wright, and Wilbur Wright.Items of unusual interest in the Biographical Files include a reproduction of a Thomas Jeffersonletter of 1822 concerning the future prospects of air flight in the United States; letters by EdmondCharles Genet dated January 15, 1826, and May 7, 1827; a manuscript scrap by Walt Whitmanconcerning aviation written in his hand about 1850; a letter from Victor Hugo sent out of Paris byballoon during the siege of the Paris Commune in 1870; a letter by Theodore Roosevelt to WalterWellman dated December 9, 1904, concerning a possible flight to the North Pole; a 1917 letterabout ballooning from Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt to Roy Knabenshue;and the completed application form by Charles Lindbergh for the $25,000 Orteig Prize awarded tothe first person to fly nonstop from New York to Paris.The records include material donated to the institute's archives by private collectors. Fiveindividual donors account for a majority of the source material in this collection. At least part ofthe collections of Bella Clara Landauer, T. S. C. Lowe, Hart O. Berg, Charles A. Lindbergh, andLester D. Gardner are interfiled in the Biographical Files. In most cases it is impossible to assignindividual items to specific donations.An especially interesting file is that of T. S. C. Lowe, the chief aeronaut of the Army of the Potomac,containing his personal papers, 1859-1943, covering a variety of Civil War and late nineteenth-century ballooning. The file contains correspondence with such Civil War figures as Secretary ofWar Edwin McMasters Stanton, General George Gordon Meade, and the first secretary of theSmithsonian, Joseph Henry. There is a small file of Charles A. Lindbergh papers concerned mainlywith the manuscript "Flying Around the North Atlantic" written by his wife, Anne MorrowLindbergh, and published in the National Geographic Magazine in 1934. There is also a file ofcorrespondence between Charles A. Lindbergh and the National Geographic Society for the years1934-1935. Bella Clara Landauer's contributions to the aeronautical archives are interspersedthroughout the Biographical Files and Scrapbooks series. She donated material on suchaeronautical figures as Octave Chanute, William S. Henson, Auguste Piccard, and JohnStringfellow. The Hart O. Berg collection consists of scrapbooks of newspaper clippings relating tothe Wright brothers.The last major contributor to the archives was Lester D. Gardner. His direct contribution ofpersonal scrapbooks and a collection of aeronautical Christmas cards is small, but Gardner'sindirect contributions as executive secretary of the institute form the backbone of the collection.He organized, supervised, and helped arrange the archives, and his organization of the materialpervades the entire collection.The Aircraft Company Files are composed almost entirely of printed matter and newspaperclippings with very little primary documentation. The Scrapbook series includes a variety ofaeronautical material. There is a unique collection of aeronautical Christmas cards arrangedchronologically from the 1920s to the 1940s. Container 177 has two scrapbooks that containclippings from the eighteenth century, and a scrapbook labeled "Rare aeronautical manuscriptmaterial" in Container OV 75 has clippings and broadsides dating to the year 1804.
