memorabilia, photos, personal papers and equipment, power plants,
uniforms, vehicles and so forth. If you would like to offer to donate
an artifact or library materials to the Institute, please contact
a collections staff member at the museum.
The Museum seeks excellence and credibility by striving to meet
the accreditation standards of the American Association of Museums.
