Museum staff would be happy to assist you with your research request. For details please consult our research policy and complete the application form. There is a fee structure in place, which allows us to recover the related costs. Appointments to conduct research at the Museums are required.

The Museums hold approximately 300 linear meters of archival material, including photographs, negatives, documents, diaries, film, and books, relating to Canadian Airborne Forces, the history of CFB Petawawa and a number of Canadian Regiments and Units. The majority of our collection is not catalogued or indexed. Please recognize this and be patient with your request. We will do the best we can!

The Museums do not hold personal information on serving, retired or deceased military personnel. Please contact the National Archives of Canada at http://www.archives.gc.ca or National Defence Headquarters at http://www.dnd.gc.ca..
