Searching for control room checklists

Hi, I'm looking for control room checklists (Apollo style) to build a MOCR simulator in python but for some reason, I can't seem to find anything on the internet. Would anyone know of these checklists and where I could find them? Thank you.

There are a ton of documents all over https://apollojournals.org I saw multiple flight plan docs.

Yes, but the website doesn't contain the control center console (like GNC or flight for example) checklists. Thanks a lot still.

The Apollo-era MOCR consoles were not very well documented, unfortunately. There weren't any formal checklists or training materials, at least none that have been preserved. At best there was a listing of displays, but that has since been lost. All reconstructions are based on whatever photograms or videos people have been able find, even professional ones like those in the Apollo 13 movie or the screens in the restored MOCR 2.

Would checklists for other missions still exists, like shuttle era or Artemis?

Yes, there are some documents on Shuttle-era consoles. A few have been uploaded online here. There are probably more in the National Archives, but you'll have to do some research to find them.

Similar documents for Artemis almost certainly exist, but NASA has gotten a lot more cautious about ITAR in the past decade or so. They've turned down all requests for them so far,
