Make your gift today!

To collect, preserve, make accessible

The American Antiquarian Society's mission is to collect the printed history of this nation, to preserve those invaluable collections, and to ensure that the materials are widely available.

You may join the Friends of the American Antiquarian Society online. Select your membership level by entering a dollar amount in the window below and click the button "Join the Friends of AAS."

You may also join the Friends of the American Society by sending your check directly to the:

American Antiquarian Society
185 Salisbury Street
Worcester, MA 01609-1634

We need your support through the Annual Fund, which provides about 10% of the operating budget, to be sure that the work of this library is done effectively. Free public lectures and concerts, helpful responses to telephone or mail reference questions, new bibliographical tools to aid readers, computer access to the library's catalog, microfilm reproductions of rare items, prints and maps for textbook illustrations - your gift helps to make all of this work and more possible.

The challenges of adding materials to the collection; of repairing books, broadsides, pamphlets, prints and maps; and of providing quality service to readers are faced daily within the walls of Antiquarian Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The gifts of generations of individuals, stretching back two hundred years, have made this institution what it is. Join that proud tradition by joining the Friends of the American Antiquarian Society to sustain a vibrant present and ensure a strong future for the Society.

Contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Please request your company's matching gift.

Thank you!
