As of the end of 2022, it was necessary to move all of the Archives located in the basement room where we formally accepted new donations and maintained all the donations over the years which could no longer be held in DENTK due to the growing demand of training spaces for pilots and mechanics. All the items are being held in storage units close to DENTK.

In 2021 an Historical Exhibit was established on the 1st floor where UA and CO memorabilia are displayed. That was implemented almost 2 years so where there was also a memorial garden installed on the SW corner of DENTK. A 9/11 ceremony was held with a military flyover in commemoration of those DEN employees lost in the 9/11 attacks on September 21th, 2001.

This exhibit has a Library, an Audio Visual Room with CO and UA videos from over the years. The main Exhibit has uniforms, airplane models, framed pictures, a link trainer, airplane china/glassware , a Micronesia section, many other interesting objects. This area is open 24/7 and available for those in attendance in DENTK.

In 2023, the UAHF Board of Directors voted to have the William S. Arnott Scholarship Fund (chaired by Dale Dopkins, UAL Capt ret) to be sent as an Endowment to Southern Illinois University for university aviation students. After some other contributions to the Fund were made, the total of $25,000 was recently transferred to S.I.U. This is in memorian to Capt. Arnott for his tireless organizational and financial efforts to establish UAHF years ago along with the Scholarship Program.

Any Scholarship donations CAN NOW BE MADE DIRECTLY to S.I.U:Southern Illinois University Foundation– Colyer Hall – Mail Code 6805 –1235 Douglas Drive, Carbondale, IL 62901
