Resource of the Week: Internet Archive's NASAimages.org
By Gary Price and Shirl Kennedy
This past week, Internet Archive announced that you can now download high resolution image files directly from the website.
The improved download features offer a choice of high or low resolution files for still images, allowing users to select the version best suited for their needs. Many images on the site have a dimension of 3000 pixels or higher, making them suitable for printing at up to 11 x 17 inches on most printers. The website still maintains NASA’s file naming conventions for easy organization.
You can search the archive by keyword or browse various categories:
Be sure and check out the interactive Spaceflight Timeline at the bottom of the page. You can click through at any stop along the continuum to bring up relevant images.
According to the announcement:
NASA signed a Space Act Agreement with Internet Archive to create NASAimages.org so that NASA’s vast imagery collection would be more accessible to the public. Internet Archive’s NASAimages.org offers the first comprehensive collection of NASA imagery in a single, searchable on-line location, providing enthusiasts, researchers, news media and the general public easy, no-cost access to NASA’s vast collection of still and video imagery.
