"Due to the historical significance of the original flight films, typically only duplicate film products are currently available for study and used to make prints. To allow full access to the original flight films for both researchers and the general public, Johnson Space Center and Arizona State University's Space Exploration Resources are scanning and creating an online digital archive of all the original Apollo flight films. Through this online interface, users may browse through the archive and download any of the images."

Best,
Chris
