You can go see this stuff, even spend hours doing research on it,
but
you have to be escorted at all times, etc.


Not exactly (unless things have changed in the last year or so). I
visitted Huntsville on a business trip 13 months ago, and visited
the
UAH library to research Saturn. What I wound up doing was
persuadign the
special collectiosn librarian to jsut start packing the
collections onto
a cart in chronological order, starting at the beginning, and
wheeling
it out to me in the regular study area.

I hope they can continue such accessibility,
but it could cause them trouble. I'm aware of
similar non-space-related collections at
university libraries that have been serially
pilfered over a period of time - even when
people had to sign in to access the
collections.

I would love to see this stuff digitized and
made available via. Internet.
