Finding Aid for the William R. Muehlberger Papers

Abstract

The William R. Muehlberger Papers comprise reports, correspondence, photographs, geological maps, and itineraries. It was created by William R. Muehlberger, a Geology Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, who NASA selected as the Primary Investigator for the Apollo missions at the Johnson Space Center. The materials in this collection were created and collected by Muehlberger between 1945 and 1996, with a particular focus on his work related to the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. They consist of field notes and other records that are not personal in nature, but rather related to his professional work on these missions.
