Description
In 2002, ESA decided to create a new, dedicated, place for space records. The European Centre for Space Records at ESRIN, Italy, was conceived to host technical documentation coming from ESA projects and space missions. Two decades later, the ECSR is the home of the analogue and digital legacy of the European Space Agency, archiving the administrative, legal and contractual archives with the scientific documentation. The digitisation strategy started in 2018 supports new initiatives and allows the ESA Archives the possibility to promote its activity. The approach to gain a broad public is new and focused on two concepts: enlarging the community of space enthusiasts and promoting a new Space History
