Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, Inc is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the distinguished heritage of Naval Air Station Lakehurst.  Established in 1975 with a total of three members, NLHS, Inc. was incorporated in 1987 and has now grown to over 250 members worldwide. Through educational programs, tours, lectures, slide presentations and displays at libraries, museums, schools and aviation events we hope to increase the public knowledge of the singular aeronautical heritage associated with one of the U.S. Navy's oldest air stations.

NLHS Archives

NLHS, Inc's current archives include hundreds of artifacts and thousands of photographs and assorted memorabilia relating to Navy Lighter-Than-Air aeronautics as well as various tenant commands (e.g. Parachute Rigger School, Aviation Bos'nmate School & Aerography School) established on board Navy Lakehurst since 1921.  Included in the NLHS, Inc archives are personal documents, books, pamphlets and other material which embrace the station's varied contributions to naval aviation both afloat and ashore.

Many of the NLHS artifacts and photographs are now availabe for public viewing at our Navy Lakehurst Information Center (NLIC). Tours of the NLIC are available and information on these tours can be found here.
