Scientific paper

An important part of the 2007 International Year activities will be preserving the history and memory of IGY 1957. The "IGY Gold" History initiative has several goals: 1) identifying and recognizing planners of and participants in the first IGY, 2) preserving memoirs, articles, photographs, and all items of historical significance for the IGY, 3) making these items available to historians, researchers, etc., 4) serving as a contact service for these activities, 5) spreading awareness of the history of geophysics, and 6) planning special events and "reunions." The IGY "Gold" Club identifies participants from the first IGY (gold symbolizing the 50th anniversary). "Gold club" participants will be rewarded with a special "IGY Gold Anniversary" certificate of recognition and a special commemorative "IGY Gold" lapel pin. Many IGY participants from around the globe have received IGY Gold Club awards, and many have submitted valuable historical material about the IGY activities. This is a joint program of the IHY, eGY, IPY, IYPE and IUGG.
