Exhibit Information

Every little bit helps the NCF to influence the cryptologic future by sharing our educational resources, stimulating new knowledge, and commemorating our heritage.

On 28 April 2015, the National Cryptologic Museum hosted a very special ribbon-cutting for the new William F. Friedman: A Life in Cryptology exhibit. The exhibit provides a glimpse of the over 7,600 documents and other materials related to Friedman's career that were recently released by NSA. Visit the searchable online library. You can also learn more about William Friedman via his Hall of Honor page.
