Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) Cultural Resource Archive - Documents, Images, and other Data

Part of: Air Force - West

Collection of documents, data, and images generated from and/or related to archaeological resource and Cultural Resource Management investigations, studies, and reports at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The collection was created by tDAR under contract with the USAF and is intended to organize documents, images, and other data from Vandenberg AFB.

Some of the digital resources are organized under several sub-collections, which group together documents from particular investigations or related to certain sites or parts of the base. Other digital objects are included individually. Due to the potential sensitive information included in these documents, users that wish to access documents and images without redaction should contact the cultural resources office at the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Note: Originally named Vandenberg Air Force Base, the base was renamed to Vandenberg Space Force Base after the creation of the Space Force in 2019. Depending on the date of the resource, it will determine what name is used to refer to the installation.
