Books in Print

AAS publishes books under its own imprint. Most are bibliographies of key genres or areas of American imprints, edited primary documents, other reference tools, and papers from AAS conferences and other programs.

Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society

The Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society has been suspended. For further information about the Proceedings archive and the articles, source documents, bibliographies, and other tools for scholarship (most of it deriving from research in the Society's collections), as well as the Society's official reports visit the Proceedings page.

Offprints

The Society has long issued handsome-looking offprints of individual articles from the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society and made them available for purchase by scholars and students. Articles fall into nearly every field of scholarship in American history and culture through 1876, including history of the book, bibliography, historiography, social and intellectual history, African American history, and the history of women. Hundreds of titles, some going back to the nineteenth century, are available through the Society.
