Scientific paper

Lick Observatory's photographic plate archive is among the world's most extensive. Its value lies both in its scientific potential and in the history it preserves. Its direct and spectrographic plates constitute a hundred years of data, valuable for a variety of investigations, especially those concemed wi'th time-varying phenomena. Its historical importance lies in a wealth of material illuminating the life and work of Lick astronomers. Don Osterbrock, more than any other Lick astronomer, recognized and exploited the Plate Vault's historical potential, however many more treasures await discovery.
