A great many items in the NWAHC collections will never (or rarely) be exhibited at our brick-and-mortar museum in Bloomington: space is always limited; but many items like photo negatives or reference manuals just don’t make sense to lie in a display case, and books, magazines, and scanned documents need to read to be experienced.
So these pages will function as our initial efforts to share the Center’s archives more broadly – a very long-term project to be sure, but one we are excited to undertake!
Our goal for this section is to present (eight divisions are now up and running – Inflight Magazines started in July 2024, and Annual Reports was launched in April 2024):
- Timetables
- Ticket Jackets
- Fleet Lists
- Annual Reports
- Staff Newsletters
- Inflight Magazines
- Advertising
- Route Maps
- Safety Cards
- Aircraft Photographs
- Airports
- Uniforms, insignia, and gear
- Technical and Operations
We also archive back-issues of our quarterly journal, REFLECTIONS here.
Check back frequently as we add more content – and please communicate with us if you have files, scans, and photos to share!
And if you find value in this work we’ve undertaken to preserve airline history and make it broadly accessible, please consider membership to our organization.
