From 1926 to 1991, Eastern Airlines had endured as one of the major and more well known airlines in the Americas. This collection captures important fragments of its long history and its influence on the airline industry through the eyes of its former employees and passengers. The materials contained within include: ephemera, 3D objects, uniforms, manuals, administrative files, photographs, albums, and other types of documents pertaining to Eastern Airlines.

Almost all items contained in this collection have been generously donated to the University of Miami by individuals donating on behalf of the Eastern Airlines Retiree Association [EARA], or former employees who have contributed to the collection on an individual basis.

This collection has no formal series arrangement; instead, the collection is generally described at the folder level. Each folder includes an attribution to the donor(s) of the contents within.

This collection is unprocessed but open for research.

Items from this collection are kept on-campus and may be requested from the first floor Kislak Center in the Otto G. Richter Library at University of Miami.
