Archives and Library
The comprehensive aviation reference library housed at the Museum is one of the largest in the country, with holdings of books, magazines, technical manuals, and drawings, as well as some 40,000 photographs, films, and audiotapes, many of which cannot be found anywhere else.
One item in the archives is a rare, five-minute film of Amelia Earhart embarking on her solo, trans-Atlantic flight from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, on 21 May 1932.
The library is open to the public on an appointment basis and photos, films, and audiotapes are loaned or copied on request.

Never will I wake these echoes, never will I ask for that hospitality again ...”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
