Overview
The collections portion of the WAHF archives is what makes our archives unique. Beginning before the organization was formed, our founders were gathering materials that serve today as the basis of our collections. The soliciting and gathering of suitable material continues today.

Materials are donated by WAHF inductees and others. Materials come to us from throughout Wisconsin and beyond our borders. Materials are both large and small in size, scope and value. All collected items are cataloged and preserved to meet one goal of the WAHF mission statement.

Donations / Loans
If you have items that you would like to donate (or loan) to the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame please contact Michael Goc at 608-339-7191. The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization for tax purposes.
