Under "Transportation" --

Trans World Airlines (TWA) Records (KC0453) [TWA]

"... Records were collected by the TWA Museum and break generally into three parts:
-- training and operations manuals for the various aircraft flown by TWA;
-- Incident files and other safety related materials including reports and data issued by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), and its successor, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB); and
-- various other materials including books about TWA; TWA publications, menus, tickets, timetables, and other ephemeral items; photographs, slides and negatives relating to crew training; public relations audio and video, etc.

Also included is some records relating to Ozarks Airline which was acquired by TWA in 1986.

The Incident files ... data for each incident varies, ranging from a report form to detailed studies with correspondence, depositions, analytical/technical data, photographs, audio recordings and/or videos, NTSB hearing documents, and media reports. Some of the accident files may be as large as several boxes. 1929-2002.

270 cubic feet + oversize...."

BTW, on "the web" are several dozen good photos, from the old Globe-Democrat, showing various phases of the TAT start-up in July 1929 (various G-D stories in 1928 reveal some of the minds that first backed CL, & then encourage CL to plan for the new TAT start-up).
