THE ASNT LIBRARYThe ASNT Library began as an NDT archive when it was dedicated in June 1990. Its first holdings were mostly archival materials such as reference texts, conference proceedings, slides and ASNT's own books in print. Through the generosity of ASNT members, and other individuals in the nondestructive testing community, the collection has expanded to include over 2,000 volumes of NDT texts, more than 200 research and association journals, and a specialized collection of subject catalogs, indexes and computer databases.
