Archive: 18 years of Telescopium

Telescopium was ASTRON's employee magazine from 1974 to 1992. It was written by employees and can be considered a blend of the '#random' Slack channel, HR News and random sections of Confluence. The archive of Telescopium offers an intriguing perspective on life within SRZM during that period.

Dick Hoogenraad was one of the founders of Telescopium. Before his passing, he maintained an archive, binding the issues every two years. His daughter generously donated the books to ASTRON, preserving Dick's legacy along with the collective efforts of the many contributors.

Currently, the issues are located in my office. Please feel free to drop by and peruse the collection. In due course, they will be relocated to the ASTRON library or archive.

For those seeking material to enrich the daily image archive with historical content, don't hesitate to drop by to discover interesting articles from Telescopium. So far, every page I've turned has been interesting in some sense.
