Archives and library staff gathered with friends in the Abelson Building on August 31, 2005, to celebrate the conclusion of the Carnegie Legacy Project and to bid farewell to project archivists Ann Mulfort and Jennifer Snyder. For the past two years, Jennifer and Ann have combed through hundreds of boxes of archival records at DTM and the Geophysical Laboratory, organizing, preserving, and cataloging historically-valuable materials.

Finding aids to the collections are now available on the Legacy Project web site, www.carnegieinstitution.org/legacy. The departments' archives document a century of investigations in the geophysical sciences through field and laboratory notebooks, equipment designs, plans for observatories and research vessels, scientists' unpublished correspondence, and thousands of expedition photographs. The Legacy Project was made possible through the generous support of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission - a branch of the National Archives.
