Navy War College Publications: A Comprehensive Guide During Renovation

The Navy War College (NWC) Archives are currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation, which means that the physical collections are temporarily unavailable for research. This is an exciting development for the institution, as it will ultimately improve the way we store and access our archival materials.

Although the archives are closed during this time, we encourage you to continue exploring our website to discover digital versions of documents and images from the collection. The Naval War College Office of Alumni Programs has made significant strides in digitizing our collections, making it easier for researchers and alumni to access important historical materials.

In addition to online resources, the NWC Archives are also available through online networking platforms and in-person events. Our global network of alumni is an integral part of our community, and we strive to provide meaningful engagement opportunities that foster lifelong learning.

To accommodate the extensive work involved in this renovation project, all archival collections have been relocated to an off-site storage facility. This temporary relocation will ensure the safety and preservation of these valuable materials until the project is completed by the end of 2024.

Mahan Hall, home to the NWC Archives, is temporarily closed for renovations, but we invite you to explore our website and discover new resources. Digital versions of documents or images may be available for download, but in most cases, you will need to make an appointment to view these non-circulating collections in the NWC Archives' Reading Room.

To get started, simply search finding aids using keywords, names, or subjects to discover materials in our collection. Our institutional archives and repository house a wealth of information related to the history of the College, naval warfare, and the navies in Narrangansett Bay.

For more information on how to use this site, please visit our FAQ page for answers to frequently asked questions. We are committed to providing you with an exceptional research experience, even during this brief period of renovation.

By leveraging online resources, networking platforms, and in-person events, we aim to keep the spirit of lifelong learning alive within our community. We invite you to join us on this journey and explore the rich history and heritage of the Navy War College.
