Custodial history

Stacey Bank was a close friend and the Executor of Sara and Abram Barac's estate. After Sara and Abram passed away, Stacey retained their documents (the family had declined them). When Stacey Bank passed away, he entrusted these documents to his wife, Aline Bank, who reached out to the JPL Archives in the Summer of 2021 to donate the materials.
