This open access book on the history of the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory covers the scientific discoveries and
technical innovations of late 20th century radio astronomy with
particular attention to the people and institutions involved. The
authors have made extensive use of the NRAO Archives, which contain
an unparalleled collection of documents pertaining to the history
of radio astronomy, including the institutional records of NRAO as
well as the personal papers of many of the pioneers of U.S. radio
astronomy. Technical details and extensive citations to original
sources are given in notes for the more technical readers, but are
not required for an understanding of the body of the book. This
book is intended for an audience ranging from interested lay
readers to professional researchers studying the scientific,
technical, political, and cultural development of a new science,
and how it changed the course of 20th century astronomy.
