The collection will contain images from research observatories all over the world and taken at all wavebands.

NRAO-Charlottesvile Library ( RAPcat, PageCharge Policies )

Out of This World star atlas exhibition

An exhibition of rare star maps and atlases from the History of Science Collection of the Linda Hall Library

Royal Astronomical Society ( RAS )

The Royal Astronomical Society was founded in the year 1820 and received the grant of a Royal Charter in 1831. The Society's aims are "the encouragement and promotion of astronomy and geophysics." The main functions are to publish the results of astronomical and geophysical research, to maintain as complete a library as possible in these subjects and to hold meetings, in London and elsewhere, at which astronomical and geophysical matters can be discussed.

Signal Processing Information Base ( SPIB )

a project sponsored by the Signal Processing Society and the National Science Foundation. SPIB contains information repositories of data, papers, software, newsgroups, bibliographies, links to other repositories, and addresses, all of which are relevant to signal processing research and development. For general information, send e-mail to spib@spib.rice.edu containing the message: send help

Space Telescope Science Institute Library Service

STEPsheet, IAU circulars

Space Telescope Science Institute ( STScI )

STScI is responsible for the scientific operations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). STScI is operated by Associated Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under contract to NASA.

ST-ECF directory of WAIS databases

WAIS index to a 'white pages' directory of astronomy & astrophysics related WAIS source files maintained at the Space Telescope - European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF). The files of type text used in the index were: /home/ns3f/ecf/ftp/pub/wais/*.src To get a list of all available sources, search for 'source'.

ST-ECF software library

WAIS index to all files in the software library of the Space Telescope - European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF), which supports European astronomers in using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

The Net Advance of Physics ( NetAdvPhys )

Online encyclopaedia of physics/astrophysics; includes most review papers in the Los Alamos preprint base catalogued by subject. Will someday hopefully be a complete subject-index to online physics and astrophysics literature.

Yerkes Library

The astronomy collection housed in Yerkes Library is designed to support the research and educational activities of Yerkes Observatory, University of Chicago, with emphasis on practical and observational astronomy, charts and catalogs of astronomical objects, and the design and construction of astronomical instruments and lenses. The collection also supports the activities of the Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica (CARA), whose headquarters are located at the Observatory.
