Does anyone know where I can obtain copies of the numerous memos that John Young wrote during his career?

They would make fascinating reading. My primary interest is on the safety side of things. Thanks.

The Johnson Space Center History Collection maintained by the University of Houston-Clear Lake lists an archive of John Young Memos (Section 119, Box 10) as part of the papers it received from Samuel Nassiff in 2006.

The collection also holds Young's memos related to flight safety in its archive of STS-51L investigation documents (Section 044, Box 4).

Thanks for the reference from that I have been able to acquire a couple of the memos John Young wrote during the shuttle era. Does anyone know where I can find copies that were written during the Apollo era?
