This booklet contains selections from the Cornell Alumni News for the years 1963 through 2007 concern-ing the history of the Arecibo Observatory. A companion collection has been assembled from the Cornell Engineering Quarterly. The PDF containing these articles (in chronological order) includes bookmarks, and with the Acrobat Reader, the file opens with the bookmarks displayed. These materials were written for a broad audience and, hopefully, provide additional context for the col-lection of oral histories about the Arecibo Observatory. The original articles may be viewed and downloaded from the eCommons collection, “Publications of the Cornell Alumni Association,” at https://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/3157 An Oral History of the Arecibo Observatory is at https://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/33201
