So You Want to be Aviation Historian, 18 May 2010

Please join us as we welcome The Museum of Flight's Senior Curator, Dan Hagedorn and ...“What Next?” That is the question posed by Dan to anyone who has amassed a private collection of aeronautica. Speaking from the point of view of an enthusiast who became a photographer, collector and author, Hagedorn will remind RAeS members that completing the mosaic of the first century of flight may involve your own unique contributions, and that organizing them and planning for their disposition when the inevitable day arrives requires deliberate action. He combines his 27 year military intelligence experiences with 20 years on staff at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum to illustrate that our aviation heritage belongs to all of us, and that no contribution is too small to be documented and preserved.”
