Some of our holdings may be borrowed through interlibrary loan procedures, which you must initiate at your local library. Up to six items at a time may be borrowed for 60 days. Please note we are a lender of last resort, which means we do not loan materials that are readily available elsewhere. Our loan loan service does not extend to overseas patrons unless the request is for U.S. government official business and is initiated at at U.S. government library. Fees for official patrons are usually waived.
Payment is accepted in cash, check or money orders payable in U.S. dollars.
Patrons may coordinate to use personal copy machines and scanners. There is a limit of only 25 photocopies of photographs from our photographic archives per patron per calendar year. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the Defense Accounting Officer, but mailed directly to the Military History Institute at the above address. Residents of other nations should pay in U.S. currency with an international money order or a check that will clear through U.S. banks. There is no charge for ten pages or less in any given year.
