NYU Space Talks ⎪ Gherardo Bonini: 'Historicizing the European Space Agency: An Archival Overview, 1987–2000'

Since 1989, the Historical Archives of European Union (HAEU) in Florence have appraised, inventoried and made available a wealth of ESA’s historical records. In-depth research carried out by a team under the direction of John Krige as well as successive projects have extensively examined these archival resources covering the years up to 1987 but more recently processed holdings remain largely unexplored. This presentation offers an overview of what the archival collection concerning ESA's external relations has to offer for space historians. Special attention will be given to ESA‘s collaboration with the European Union and the so-called Big Four: France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
