Several History Channel shows used photos from our Roswell collection in 2020 for their explorations of the incident, including Ancient Aliens (Season 15, Episode 2: “The Relics of Roswell”) and The UnXplained (Season 2, Episode 4: “The Truth About UFOs”).
The Ramey Memo was featured in History’s Greatest Mysteries (Season 1, Episode 6: “Roswell: The First Witness"). In this three-episode arc, a former CIA operative's investigation into the Roswell crash arrives at a critical moment when the mysterious journal found among the possessions of Major Jesse Marcel undergoes a crucial test.

Ramey memo
The tiff images of the Memo are only 8bits, they should re-scan with a much higher bit depth such as 16 or 32 and save as HDR format or EXR so we can have more greytone available to enhance the image in Photoshop.
History Channel
Does the UTA believe the History Channel's interpretation of the Ramey memo to be correct?
Higher Quality Scans
It’s my understanding that the library has the physical negatives would it be possible for the negatives to be scanned and uploaded in high quality to this site?
