American Antiquarian Society

The American Antiquarian Society (AAS) was founded in 1812 in Worcester. The Society maintains a research library of American history and culture to collect, preserve, and make available for study the printed record of the United States. AAS is the third oldest historical society in this country and the first to be national rather than regional in its purpose and in the scope of its collections. With holdings numbering close to three million books, pamphlets, broadsides, manuscripts, prints, maps, and newspapers, this library preserves the largest single collection of printed source material relating to the history, literature, and culture of the first 250 years of United States.

Open Monday - Friday 9am-5pm; closed holidays. Guided tours are given Wednesday at 2pm.
