E.E. Barnard, a self-taught but internationally-known astronomer, photographed the Milky Way’s “most interesting portions” in the early years of the 1900s. A book of his photographs and charts, A Photographic Atlas of Selected Regions of the Milky Way, was published in 1927. Fewer than 700 books were printed and the GT Archives has one! Every photo, chart, and text block is digitized and searchable, and you can view each photo overlaid with its corresponding chart. This is the “Region of the Great Nebula of Rho Ophiuchi.” http://www.library.gatech.edu/search/digital_collections/barnard/index.html
