PRESERVING OUR HISTORY
The museum’s Research Library is maintained as a repository of technical and historical information to aid the staff and volunteers in the design and creation of exhibits, artifact restoration, and historical research. Research assistance is also provided to government organizations, academic institutions, DOD contractors, and professional historians.
Due to staffing limitations, the museum library is closed to the general public.
