The following pictures were taken from the collection of Olin Eggen. I have scanned them at 200dpi. The jpg images have been reduced to 100dpi and about 5in size. The original scanned images can be made to give much higher image quality. I have selected my favorite pictures from the 80 or so pictures scanned. There are a number of images of Olin as a child and teenager too. Tom Kinman, and Charles & Di Harmer have helped identify the astronomers in the pictures.

These pictures are from the Olin Eggen Collection CD. They are copyrighted, unless a previous copyright is in existence. For permission to use these photos, or to obtain the CD, please contact the CTIO Director.
