The Moffett Field Historical Society Research Library contains over 4,000 aviation- and military-related books (from technical to fiction), plus newspapers, archival materials, and more. The majority is catalogued and searchable, and the rest is still browsable, on your own or with the help of a staff member. The Library is located inside the Moffett Field Historical Society Museum. Researchers and museum visitors are welcome to stop by during museum hours. Library entry is included with museum admission!

(The Library is a non-lending library. Materials are accessible on site only. Walk-ins welcome, but when possible, please call ahead to confirm availability and to allow us to prepare materials.)
