The Museum of Flight Archives holds collections containing a wealth of visual materials, including photographs and negatives, as well as architectural and engineering drawings, manuscripts, and other paper-based items. The Library contains tens of thousands of books and periodicals, as well as technical reports, subject files, and an expansive manuals collection.
All researchers are strongly encouraged to make an appointment in advance, but drop-in visitors wishing to conduct research or view materials from the Library collection (books, magazines and journals, and clippings files) are welcomed to the Dahlberg Reading Room during our open hours with no appointment necessary. Researchers wishing to view material from Archives collections and the Library’s manual collection must make an appointment in advance.
To plan your visit or for more information, contact us via our research request form, call us at 206-764-5874, or email curator@museumofflight.org.
