In - Kind
Donations
The Friends also welcome gifts
of rare books and artwork,
maps, diaries, films,
electronic media, personal
papers, photographs,
correspondence, reports, and
other documents dealing with
aeronautical and airpower
themes. The Clark Special
Collections of the Library
contains a significant body of
personal papers donated to the
Academy by Air Force officers
and civilians who were
instrumental in the development
of American air power. Over
1000 individual collections
provide graphic insights from
man’s early attempts to
master flight through the
evolution of military air
power.
Cadets enrolled in history,
English, and military science
classes are given instruction
regarding research and writing
from primary source materials.
Following this instruction,
cadets compile research papers
based upon documents and other
artifacts within the
collections. Our collections
provide a unique opportunity to
the cadets as research projects
of this nature usually are only
conducted at the graduate
level. The collections also
support historical monographs,
articles, dissertations, and
books by the Academy faculty
and other air power historians.
If you are interested in making
an in-kind
donation of personal
papers or other items, please

printable/electronic form.
