EDUCATION & RESEARCH LIBRARY

The primary mission of the E & R Library is to support the Museum’s Education, Exhibit and Restoration programs. In addition, it serves as a resource to the
general public for historical and technical aeroscience related information. (Example: A student with a term paper assignment, a model builder, a media reporter
or an author doing research.)

The Library contents are made up of a broad collection of books, brochures, photographs, technical manuals, periodicals, scrapbooks, artwork and audiovisual items. It’s content is particularly strong in the Pioneer, World War I, "Golden Era" and
World War II periods (1910 – 1950).

The Attil Pasquini Collection has over 2100 photographs that can be searched using our PastPerfect software database.

The Frank Coffyn Collection is a gift from the estate of Kingsland Adams Coffyn by the Green family to the Empire State Aerosciences Museum. The collection contains about 200 photos of Wright Flyers aircraft taken by Frank who worked for the Wright Brothers.

The Rick Allen Collection has added many books and a large amount of research materials to the Library catalog.
