Cape Cod Space Force Station Cultural Resources Archive

Part of: Air Force - Midwest

Collection of documents, data, and images generated from and/or related to archaeological resource and investigations on the Cape Cod Space Force Station in Massachusetts. The collection was created by tDAR under contract with the USAF and is intended to organize documents, images, and other data from the Cape Cod Space Force Station.

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 Cape Cod Space Force Station.

Note: Originally named Cape Cod Air Force Station, the station was renamed to Cape Cod Space Force Station 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.
