La bibliothèque du CHPM, spécialisée en histoire et sciences militaires, est intégrée aux collections du Château de Morges, où elle est physiquement conservée.
Le Château de Morges thus fulfils a dual role: as a venue for hosting and preserving this specialised library, accessible to CHPM members.
The Château also houses the old collection of the Morges Arsenal and the collections of the former Swiss Institute of Ancient Weapons (ISAA) from Grandson. These collections form an important documentation centre specialising in military history and important military weapons within the museum.
