#WOW! \u2013 A Central Collection Point for Skydiving\u2019s History! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We now have access to an online databank exploring the use of parachutes from the earliest attempts to slow man\u2019s descent from high places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

##Encyclopedia of All Things Skydiving<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More than 600 separate articles have been uploaded to The Encyclopedia of All Things Skydiving<\/a>, and more are added every week. The website is a searchable research tool that will serve future generations of skydivers and aviation enthusiasts who have an historical interest in parachutes. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The site has been viewed by more than 27,000+ people from 50 countries. A membership function and collaborative \u201cwiki\u201d software enables visitors to comment, add new articles, correct inaccuracies and otherwise participate in building a valuable and accessible archive of sport parachuting\u2019s collective history.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

##Content<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The site\u2019s content includes technical articles, anecdotes, pictures, reminisces and biographies of the sport\u2019s notables, past and present. Articles are collected, organized and posted under the supervision of Madden (Pat) Works, longtime skydiving author, and Mary Todd, website administrator. Pat encourages everyone with an interest in skydiving \u2014 parachute equipment designers, enthusiasts of the sport\u2019s many disciplines, aerial photographers, jump pilots, etc \u2014 to add informed content in their areas of specialty (to be reviewed and approved before posting).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

##eMuseum<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Encyclopedia of All Things Skydiving is a personal project initiated by Pat Works (USPA D-1813), who, as a pro bono advisor to the Skydiving Museum\u2019s Board of Trustees, has written on a broad range of topics that tell the history of our sport. The databank currently resides on a website belonging to Pat Works, but is expected to move to the Skydiving Museum\u2019s website where it will join the \u201ceMuseum\u201d function. eMuseum listings represent what could be displayed when the Skydiving Museum achieves funding sufficient to open the doors at a physical location. <\/p>\n
