IAU-URSI HISTORICAL RADIO ASTRONOMY WORKING GROUP
The Working Group for Historical Radio Astronomy is a joint IAU-URSI Working Group affiliated with IAU Commissions B4 (Radio Astronomy) and C3 (History of Astronomy), and URSI Commission J (Radio Astronomy). The Working Group has the following goals:
- Maintain an on-going bibliography of publications on the history of radio astronomy
- Commission biographical memoirs for deceased radio astronomers
- Encourage research relating to the history of radio astronomy. This also includes the origins and development of current large facilities as well as the assembly and maintenance of a master list of surviving historically-significant, but no longer active, radio telescopes and associated instrumentation, and documenting the technical specifications and scientific achievements of these instruments.
