Deck Log Section

Beginning on July 8th until further notice, NHHC offices will close one day per week to absorb reductions resulting from the announced federal furlough. Headquarters activities and Navy museums will close on Mondays, with the exception of the Puget Sound Navy Museum, which will close on Fridays.

Until further notice, the NHHC Archives are closed to researchers, and are limited in responding to official reference requests. This includes all Archives sections at HQ (Operational, Aviation, Ships, Deck Logs, and Photo), as well as the Seabee Museum Archives. These closures are necessary to balance ongoing preservation and conservation efforts with information service management.

A major archival storage facility renovation is currently underway to improve environmental controls for 12,000 cubic feet of paper, microform, and digital media in buildings 44 and 108. An extensive mold remediation project will take place at the same time. Together, these projects will ensure that the collections we hold are better protected, and will greatly improve access to these valuable records in the future.

We regret any inconvenience these closures may cause, and appreciate your patience and understanding.
