The TWA Museum’s Library is staffed by three volunteers who are assigned to evaluate, preserve, and arrange records and documents. Depending on their specialization, they handle books, documents, photographs, audio/video recordings, and other materials, storing them over the long-term based on the Museum’s established protocols. They also make information within the archives more accessible to the public, usually by promoting its contents, assisting with archive perusal, and creating digital copies of materials. The Museum’s digital collection is the largest collection of TWA materials in the world. The Museum currently offers two websites for on-line research:
TARPA was founded in 1979 by retired TWA pilots who wanted to create an organization to provide a social, recreational and non-profit entity with a primary goal of helping members maintain friendships formed while flying for TWA and to assist pilots nearing retirement with the transition to the new life. TARPA publishes a world class, widely acclaimed magazine ''TARPA TOPICS'' and it is produced three times a year. TARPA TOPICS contains stories about members' current and past activities, stories about TWA and industry issues, and updates on TARPA activities. The Topics offers a wealth of information related to the history of Trans World Airlines.

The TWA Skyliner Collection - The single document that knits the TWA story together is the in-house company publication, the TWA Skyliner—published from 1929-2002—which reported on the events of the airline and its staff but also the company’s role in Missouri and the national and international changes within the airline industry. This TWA Skyliner Magazine collection offers issues from 1929 to the last issue in 2002. Follow this link to access the Skyliner Collection:
