Complete Viewgraph List in Sequential Order

The number at the top center of each page, under the viewgraph title, indicates the year and month of composition and the sequence number of the viewgraph for that month.  For instance, Viewgraph No. 9006-030 indicates that it was composed in June 1990, and is number 30 for that month.  Word viewgraphs are denoted by "Text" in parentheses, diagram viewgraphs by "Schematic", tables by "Tables", and graphs by "Graphs".  Bulleted text and table viewgraphs indicate that they are complete and formatted.  Bulleted graph and schematic viewgraphs indicate that they are complete and have been upgraded in the new colored Freelance Graphics 97 format.

Note to Teachers:
These viewgraphs make excellent teaching materials for many aspects of Optical SETI and some aspects of Microwave SETI.  In time, all these materials will be reformatted so that one viewgraph in any sequence of viewgraphs, i.e., a, b, c, etc., can be printed to a single page via a browser set to print in landscape format.  A transparency can then be made from the hardcopy with the maximum legibility for your classroom.  It is intended that brief descriptive text will be added to the graph and schematic viewgraphs later.
