The San Diego Air & Space Museum received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program (CFDA 89.003). The grant supports the museum's efforts to preserve, digitize, and provide public access to historical aerospace records and artifacts. Specifically, the funding will enable the museum to catalog and digitize approximately 120,000 historical images from the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation and related entities. This project aims to enhance the accessibility of these important aerospace history resources through online platforms. The museum has demonstrated expertise in research-oriented preservation and digitization projects, having previously secured significant grants from NARA, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the National Endowment for the Humanities totaling over $1 million for similar initiatives.
