A research library is provided for use by museum visitors. In the reading room is a collection of over ten thousand books covering electronics and related subjects. In storage is a collection of journals, magazines, and technical manuals, which can be viewed on request. Noteworthy topics covered in the book collection are radar, radio communications, history of people and companies important in electronic development, military history as influenced by electronics, amateur radio, and topics in physics.
