The National Maritime Historical Society Ronald L. Oswald Maritime Library, named after NMHS Chairman Emeritus Ronald Oswald, was made possible by the National Maritime Heritage Grant Program from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, administered by the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
As part of this education initiative and in partnership with the Westchester Library System, the Society has assessed, cataloged, and preserved its 5,000-volume maritime library, making it accessible to the public both online and at its headquarters.
