Reservations

1949-2011 (bulk

1949-1953)

This particular collection refers to a promotional strategy implemented

by the Hayden Planetarium. In 1949, in order to increase publicity for

their space exhibit “Conquest of Space”, the Hayden Planetarium set up

an “interplanetary-tour reservations desk” that would take reservations

for the first trips into space. The collection contains hundreds of letters

from people, sent between 1950-1953, residing within the United States

as well as internationally. Countries present in the collection include:

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Cyprus, Denmark, England,

France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Netherlands, New

Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Sweden,

Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Uruguay, Wales, and Yugoslavia. There is

also a folder that contains letters with unidentifiable origins. Another

folder contains reservations from the Rochester Public Library’s “The

Universe Unlimited Science Fiction Book Club”. This collection also

contains other printed materials related to the Hayden Planetarium.

Materials include the Planetarium Annual report from 1949-1950, an

original “Time Schedule” card which was sent to those who wrote the

planetarium, and also a list of media outlets listed in the letters.
