Research and Image Requests
The Naval Academy Museum is happy to assist you with research and image requests regarding naval history or the Naval Academy.
Please keep in mind that the Museum does not have a reference librarian, dedicated historian, or photographer on staff and can only answer requests when our other duties allow.
As some requests require more effort than others, we may not get back to you immediately.
Research
If you have a question about an item in our collection or are curious if our collection contains a specific item contact museumresearch@usna.edu
- If you have general naval history questions, we recommend you contact Naval History and Heritage Command which has a number of reference librarians and historians on staff (https://www.history.
