manuscript, photographic, print and audio-visual materials,
oral histories, fine art and historic artifacts. |

| Oral
Histories |
| Since 1978 the Archives has conducted
an oral history program centered on the Caltech
community and its distinguished scientists. More
than 150 interviews have been completed and most
are open to researchers. Also included are interviews
on specific projects, such as the Keck Telescope
and LIGO. |

|
| PhotoNet |
| PhotoNet is an online database of thousands
of images from the Archives' collection of visual material.
The history of science from the scientific revolution
to the present is illustrated by photographs, fine prints,
book illustrations, paintings and architectural drawings.
The majority of the photos document prominent twentieth-century
scientists associated with Caltech. |

| Finding
Aids |
| Finding aids are available in the Archives for most of the Archives' manuscript collections. Many of these are also currently accessible and searchable through the Online Archive of California (OAC). This consortial project is ongoing, and new finding aids are added regularly. |
