Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series: This sub-series includes commemorative memorabilia gifted to Armstrong on occasions of celebration throughout his career. Of particular interest is a 1967 Rose Bowl football signed by the Purdue football team and given to Armstrong after he had completed the Gemini VIII mission. Roger Chaffee, Gus Grissom, and Eugene Cernan were also in attendance. Also found in this sub-series are items from Purdue University's Astronaut Reunion in 1999, as well as materials Armstrong received as part of the Legends of Aerospace Tour in 2010. Armstrong'’s selective service card can is also housed here, stored by him with a plaque commemorating the move of the offices of U.S. Steel from New York to Pittsburgh.
