<p>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.apolloarchive.com">Project Apollo Archive</a> was created in 1999 as a companion to my <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.apolloarchive.com/apollo_retrospective.html">"Contact Light"</a> web site...a personal retrospective of the era of the space race.   A subsequent collaboration between the Archive and Eric Jones' <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/">Apollo Lunar Surface Journal</a> led to aquisition over the years of countless historic Apollo and other space history images generously provided by NASA and others for processing and hosting on the NASA-hosted Journal as well as on my site. Contrary to some recent media reports, this new Flickr gallery is not a NASA undertaking, but an independent one, involving the re-presentation of the public domain NASA-provided Apollo mission imagery as it was originally provided in its raw, high-resolution and unprocessed form by the Johnson Space Center on DVD-R and including from the center's Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth web site.  Processed images from few film magazines to fill in gaps were also obtained from the Lunar and Planetary Institute's <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/">Apollo Image Atlas</a>.
</p><p>All mission photographs in this new gallery are courtesy of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, specifically the Johnson Space Center, with special thanks to Mike Gentry as well as to Steve Garber of the NASA History Office for their invaluable assistance.  I am also greatly indebted to Eric Jones who has dedicated countless hours to building and curating the exhaustive Apollo Lunar Surface Journal web site.  This new Flickr gallery would have not been possible without the support of Mike, Steve and Eric, and many others over the years.
</p><p>Thank you for your interest and for helping to keep alive the spirit of space exploration and its history.
