ESA’s Living Past Presidents (1968-2014)
During ESA’s centennial year, Jean Langenheim’s “Past Presidents” poster was printed for the annual meeting. This project was the result of several years work, and was published as an
interactive timeline. The timeline included highlights of each president’s term, as well as (for most of them) their reflections on their experiences in office.

To cover the early decades of ESA’s history, Dennis Knight put together a similar timeline for
ESA’s Early Past Presidents (1916-1968). For these, published minutes and reports were used to outline significant events or issues during each term.
