Primary Source Registry

Every primary source is listed here. The NASA originals are the verbatim files in inputs/; the two © AAAS Science articles (020, 021) are cited by DOI rather than redistributed. The wiki and analyses draw on them and cite back to them.

Assets: binary images live in assets/: the LROC TIFF (source 010) and eighteen 70 mm Hasselblad frames catalogued by the Photography Index (source 013) — seventeen surface frames from magazine 40 / “S” (as11-40-5866, 5872, 5874, 5878, 5883, 5899, 5903, 5921, 5922, 5923, 5927, 5935, 5942, 5948, 5950, 5952, 5954) and one ascent frame from magazine 44 / “V” (as11-44-6634, a National Archives scan, NARA 16687388); all .jpg, NASA, public domain. Twelve are embedded as concept hero images across the wiki.

Not stored: a second scan of source 001 (a lower-quality OCR duplicate of the same Lunar Surface Operations Plan) was excluded to avoid a duplicate.
