Correspondence, memoranda and other documents relating to Harvard College Observatory meetings and special events such as symposia and colloquia. Documents also relate to the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station at Fort Davis, Texas; computer science at Harvard and the use of computers at the Observatory; new building and new parking spaces (1959); planning for building telescope in Chile to be jointly operated by Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Yale University; incorporation of the Northeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (NARA). Records are identified as those of administrative officers, Robert Gould Reed and John Allen (the latter during years 1981-1982), and a few of Julie Bisbee, who was Director for Administration in 1983.
The Astronomical Observatory was established in 1839, and is now known as the Harvard College Observatory. The Massachusetts stations are in Cambridge and the George R. Agassiz Station (Oak Ridge) in Harvard, Mass. The Boyden Station of the Observatory was originally located in Arequipa, Peru until 1927 when it was transferred near Bloemfontien in the Orange Free State, South Africa. This station closed about 1966.
