Many of the pages I'd previously uploaded referred to pages at other museums which I hadn't yet uploaded (because I hadn't sorted through the pictures I took at those museums).
Today I (finally) uploaded a large batch of "skeleton" sites for these other museums. Each museum has a full main index, showing all of the specific artifacts of which I have pictures, but the main index only has links to those artifacts which are mentioned by other pages. For some artifacts, I've uploaded all of the pictures I have. For others, I've only uploaded a small number of representative pictures.
Here's a list of the locations and artifacts I've uploaded.
- Adler Planetarium, Chicago IL
- Air Force Museum, Dayton OH
- Air Power Park, Hampton VA
- James S. McDonnell Prologue Room, St. Louis MO
- Cradle of Aviation, Garden City NY
- Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD
- Grissom Memorial, Mitchell IN
- Grissom's Mercury helmet
- Kansas Cosmosphere, Hutchinson KS
- Kennedy Space Center
- Liberty Bell 7 Traveling Tour
- Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago IL
- Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola FL
- Space Center Houston, Houston TX
- Stafford Air & Space Museum, Weatherford OK
- Stennis Space Center, Hancock County MS
- US Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL
- Virginia Air & Space Center, Hampton VA
Because of the incomplete nature of most of these artifacts, most of these are not featured on the main page. They are accessible only from here and from the pages which refer to them.
