description: The Thematic Survey of Early Missile, Instrumentation, and Test Objects Project (Legacy No. 767) falls under the LRMP Task Area of the Cold War, with the objective to “inventory, protect, and conserve the physical and literary property and relics of the Department of Defense connected with the origins and development of the Cold War.”4 The project was designed as a demonstration project to begin the identification and documentation of known early missile, instrumentation, and test object sites on HAFB administered lands. Six “space-related historical sites” were identified by the International Space Hall of Fame (ISHF) in the HAFB Historic Preservation Plan7, and five additional facility categories were identified by the HAFB Archaeologist. The physical remains of the facilities were documented as archaeological sites or historic buildings by the HAFB Archaeologist and historic architects from Hu-man Systems Research, respectively. To provide as much documentation as possible on these sites and their role in the development of Cold War technology, the ISHF conducted oral interviews and archival research, which produced a wealth of information including old photographs, films, and military records.

This report is the second of the HAFB cultural resource publication series, which was created to showcase the wide variety of projects made possible through the LRMP. The publication series will insure quality reporting of LRMP project results and allow data to be distributed to local professionals and other DoD installations, since the results are useful far beyond the boundaries of HAFB.
