About the World of Wings Book Collection

The World of Wings Library collection includes over 5000 volumes on the pigeon sport and hobby on racing, show and utility pigeons. The World of Wings is a research facility, and, as such, the collection does not circulate. The Library and its collection are open to the public, and we invite students, journalists, sportsmen and other researchers to use the collection. We permit open access to the stacks, but ask that every user register at the front desk and check any coats and/or bags. We do, however, allow institutions to borrow materials for exhibit and display on a case-by-case basis.

The World of Wings endeavors to provide basic research services for those who cannot visit the site. However, our staff is small; if you have topics that require extensive research, you may consider planning a trip to the Library or hiring a professional researcher. In an effort to provide the best possible and most efficient service, we ask that anyone with a basic reference or research question to fill in a Reference Request Form and mail or fax it to the Library. Research performed by Library staff in response to a request is limited to 30 minutes per request. For a fee of $10 per hour, we will conduct research in our library for patrons. The fees must be paid in advance.

A photocopy machine is available for on-site users. The cost is 25 cents per copy. Please ask a staff member for assistance before copying. For use of the collection, call 866-570-2473 or 405-478-5155.
The main collection is presently only indexed by title.
