Jeff Warner, a NASA scientist who investigated lunar samples in the 1970s and early 80s, had the habit of taking a Polaroid picture of nearly everyone who came into his office at Johnson Space Center.

His historically unique collection of images of lunar scientists from 20-30 years ago can become more valuable if the people pictured and others who knew them add information on their roles in Apollo and in studying the Moon.

The Warner Collection is just the beginning of an additional history emphasis for LPOD and the-Moon Wiki.
