The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), founded in 1956, is a facility of the National Science Foundation (NSF), operated for NSF by Associated Universities, Inc. Headquartered in Charlottesville, VA, NRAO has offices, employees and radio telescopes in multiple states and in Chile. We operate the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the Jansky Very large Array (JVLA), the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), and are a partner in the nearly completed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). In the Spring 2004 issue of this Newsletter I wrote about our newly-created Archives. At that time, we had completed a Web resource describing Nannielou Hepburn Dieter Conklin's career as the first American woman working in radio astronomy, had begun processing of the papers of Grote Reber and John W. Findlay.
