The American Antiquarian Society, located in Worcester, Massachusetts, is both a library and a learned society whose mission is to collect, preserve, and make available the printed record of what is now the United States from 1640 through 1876. Founded in 1812 by Revolutionary War patriot and printer Isaiah Thomas, the American Antiquarian Society is the third oldest historical society in the United States and the first to be national in the scope of its collections.
