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.
History of the Book
in America
AAS is in the midst of producing a five-volume work of collaborative

The
Expansion of Publishing and Reading in the United States, 1880-1940,

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.
