Naval Historical Foundation
A nonprofit organization, the Naval Historical Foundation
collects and preserves documents and artifacts relating to American
naval History. Important documents are cataloged and stored at
the Library of Congress Manuscript Division, Washington, DC. The
Foundation receives donated artifacts from the general public
and makes them available to the Navy Museum and Art Gallery for
display. Proceeds from the Foundation-run Museum Gift Shop and
private donations support the Navy Museum and other Naval Historical
Center programs. In conjunction with the Center, the Foundation
publishes the biannual newsletter Pull Together, along
with periodic monographs on selected subjects in U.S. naval history.
The Foundation also operates a public reproduction service
for the Center's extensive photographic files and provides funds
to the Center for special programs for which appropriate funding
in not available, such as conferences, history prizes, and internships.
