elcome to our Information Desk. If you'd like to know more about the Wright Brothers and early aviation, we've gathered some sources outside our online museum. We've also posted  some useful and exciting information about early aviation events and activities as we gear up to celebrate the Centennial of Flight in 2003.
Book, Movies, &tc. lists books, movies, videos, pamphlets, CDs, and other media productions with valuable information about the Wright brothers and early aviation. These may be available through your local library or interlibrary loan. In the case of rare books, documents, and letters, you may have to visit the repositories where they are kept.

Help With Homework gives you a head start if you are writing a report on the Wright brothers or involved in a History Day project.  
The West Side News, named after the short-lived weekly that the Wrights published in the 1890s, is our online newsletter "for Wright-minded folks." Here are our current stories, plus some older ones that we've archived:
