Membership

NSLM Members support the Library & Museum’s mission and enjoy a rich program of benefits.

Thank you for considering membership with the National Sporting Library & Museum. Support raised through the membership program enables us to offer dynamic public programming, present special exhibitions, produce scholarly publications, and maintain our collection of art and books, ensuring the preservation of sporting culture and history for generations to come.

Our diverse benefits program has offerings for art, literature, and sporting enthusiast alike. All NSLM members have free access to the Museum’s changing exhibitions, and are invited to attend various events at the NSLM. Special tours with our Curators and Librarians give an inside look at our permanent collections of books and art, including unique pieces from the F. Ambrose Clark Rare Book Room.

If you would like to give the gift of membership to a friend or loved one, please contact Reid O'Connor at roconnor@nationalsporting.org or (540) 687-6542 x35.
