Thank you for your interest in efforts to rebuild the USS Arizona Memorial’s Museum & Visitor Center.  This website is an effort to keep people like you informed on the progress of the $58 million campaign, the incredible support received from dedicated individuals and organizations, and what you can do to help us finish the job.

For 29 years, the Visitor Center has welcomed millions of people from all over the world as they paid their respects to the fallen of Pearl Harbor.  The new Museum & Visitor Center will continue that tradition in the following innovative ways:

• accommodate the vastly increased number of people that visit each year with expanded, comfortable, and ecologically aware facilities.
• provide in-depth interpretation of what happened at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 through comprehensive, state-of-the-art audio/visual displays; the use of rare, historical photographs, charts, maps, and more to extensively analyze events leading up to the attack through the post-attack salvage efforts; and new, “tactile” presentations allowing visitors to feel the history of Pearl Harbor.
• Climate-controlled exhibit cases allowing many more of the priceless artifacts of Pearl Harbor history to be displayed.

While much has been done, much remains to be accomplished.  With your continuing support we can FINISH THE JOB.  Please look through the pages that follow and see how you can contribute to the incredible transformations taking place at the USS Arizona Memorial.
