Archival collection materials are maintained by the Nimitz Education and Research Center. The Museum's archival center and holdings are growing steadily. Researchers from around the country routinely use this valuable resource which boasts more than 10,000 Pacific War photos, an extensive collection of private papers, official documents and manuscripts and a research library of more than 3,000 volumes, all related to the Pacific War.

When Phase III of the museum expansion is completed the Nimitz Education and Research Center will occupy 10,000 square feet of the second story of the new hall.
