In the 1960's NASA undertook an effort to map the near side of the moon at high resolution to find landing sites for the Apollo spacecraft. Over the last few years the team at Skycorp have been working to recover and improve upon this original data by restoring old tape machines and extracting the original data from the original tapes.
Of course I need to give their ISEE-3 Reboot Project a shoutout too:
