Cleared for Takeoff
Join us as we celebrate the creation and launch of the website, Cleared for Takeoff: Explore Commercial Aviation, which features Pan American World Airways materials digitized from collections at the University of Miami, History Miami Museum, and Duke University, alongside commercial aviation resources from the Digital Public Library of America’s (DPLA) partner network. The aviation portal aims to enable students, teachers, scholars, and other researchers to easily discover and build connections across aviation collections nationwide; it includes an interactive Pan Am timeline exhibition, as well as a primary source set and classroom lesson plan for instructors.
