In fact, the list is still growing! From classic cryptography books to codebreaking history books and more, we bet you will find something to add to your wish list. If you have any titles to add, please email them to webadmin@cryptologicfoundation.org. Thank you online friends!

| Support Book Sales at NCMF Programs
Donate and/or Purchase Books!
The new and used book sales at NCMF programs provide funds to help purchase additional artifacts for the museum. Books may be purchased and then returned after reading for a tax deduction and reselling. Subject matter varies widely, though many books feature cryptology, military histories, biographies, intelligence matters, terrorism and the like. We also sell some periodicals and novels. The National Cryptologic Museum librarian reviews all book donations and keeps some for the museum collection.

| Illustrated Women in History Features Grace Hopper!
The Illustrated Women In History website features creative illustrations of famous women in history, as well as biographical information about each woman. Of course, we selected Grace M. Hopper as a favorite, however, there are many more exceptional women to learn about and enjoy. In addition, submissions are welcomed and recently an artist submitted an illustration of another female pioneer - Elsie S. Ott, a pioneer in air evacuation of military casualties and the first woman to receive the United States Air Medal. Learn More.
