What better way to celebrate the final days of Archives Month than with the social media stalwart Throwback Thursday? Elizabeth Borja shares Polaroids of the National Air and Space Museum Historical Research Center from 1967.
Nothing says throwback like Polaroids! In 1967, the National Air and Space Museum Historical Research Center, an early predecessor to the current Archives and Library, was located in the Arts and Industries Building. (The current Air and Space building hadn’t even been built!) Here are some 3 ¼ x 4 ¼ inch Polaroid photographs taken on April 26, 1967.

How many of you still have classic Polaroid photos and, even rarer, the cameras themselves?
