Shows Objects In Inventory, More Than 900 In all
The National Skydiving Museum has a completely revised website. See Skydiving Museum Inventory The revised website is the work of Museum Advisor Linda Miller of Salt Lake City and her Museum Marketing Committee.
The new site includes a list of all of the objects donated so far to the collection. There are more than 900 artifacts, media, and collections of documents. Some of the videos and documents are available for viewing now through the inventory list. To see the growing collection, go to the site, read the introduction/explanation, and then click on eMuseum.
The museum physical inventory is being stored in several locations with the largest collection at the Para-Gear warehouse in Skokie, Illinois. Once the brick & mortar museum is built, the physical inventory will be moved into the storage area of the museum building. Individual artifacts and documents will be extracted for public view on a rotating basis.
The purpose of the National Skydiving Museum is to recognize and promote the sport of skydiving and the history of parachutes through public education and awareness; recognize the contribution to skydiving by its participants, suppliers, and supporters; capture forever the history of the sport via its events, equipment, and personalities; and enhance aviation safety as it pertains to skydiving.
The National Skydiving Museum is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation governed by a Board of Trustees.
