National Aerospace Library

The National Aerospace Library records the development of aviation & aerospace around the world, from seventeenth-century ballistics and the early days of ballooning in the late 18th century, to cutting edge design of probes that, in the years ahead, will explore distant planets. 

The Library is funded and operated by the Royal Aeronautical Society, the oldest aeronautical society in the world. Since the Society was established in 1866, many hundreds of individuals, companies and organizations have presented books, papers, photographs, brochures and films to form a unique archive of inter-linked collections which is one of the world's most extensive collections in its field. 

The Library is free-to-access and welcomes receiving enquiries from anyone around the world.
