Description

Photograph "repairing the launching tower near Roswell", September 1934 (annotation by Esther Goddard). Following a two-year gap in grant funding from the Guggenheim Foundation, Robert Goddard, his wife Esther, and his crew returned to Roswell, New Mexico in 1934. They revived sites like the workshop and the launching tower that were established during their first tour there, which took place between 1930 and 1932. In both The Papers of Robert H. Goddard and this photo album, Esther refers to this 1934-1942 period as "The Second New Mexico Adventure".

'The Goddard Rocket Researches: A Photographic Record' is an annotated photo album covering Robert H. Goddard's work and experimentation with rocketry. It was assembled and curated by Esther Goddard sometime after her husband's passing in 1945. Additionally, almost all of the photographs were taken by Esther herself.

Photographs were scanned at 400dpi.
