TRAVELING EXHIBIT
The traveling exhibit provides an opportunity for members to view historical artifacts from the Civil Air Patrol Patches & Insignia Collection in-person, ask questions, and share their stories.


These photos of the traveling exhibit are from the 2025 Minnesota Wing Conference. Addtional photos from this event can be viewed here, here, here and here.
COLLECTION STORAGE
Occasionally I am asked how the collection is safely preserved, or transported when need be, and this is the tried-and-true means of storage I have used for decades:

Five Star Xpanz Zipper Binder
• 2" soft-sided case
• Attach labeled key tags to zipper pull


Ultra PRO Platinum Series Pages
Archival-safe polypropylene (non-PVC)
• 4-pocket, 3-1/2" x 5"
• 2-pocket, 5" x 7" (larger patches)
• Other pocket sizes available


Sterilite Footlocker
• Holds 9-10 zippered binders
• Easy to carry, and pulls on wheels
• 31-1/4" x 17-5/8" x 13 7/8" (outside)
