About AAS

Recent Scholarship:
Publications and Other Works Based on Research at the American Antiquarian Society

What follows is a list of the various "products" of research undertaken in the collections of the Society that have come to our attention from June through August 2010. These works include books, articles, films, television programs, public exhibitions (including shows to which we loaned items), recordings, dissertations, theses, and various forms of digital publication researched, written, or produced by our visiting fellows and other readers. There is also a classification in which awards and prizes won by AAS-researched works are noted.

A list of works compiled for previous updates on the AAS website may be accessed by clicking here. It is our intention to publish new lists of AAS research products quarterly.

We strongly urge that persons who have done research at AAS in recent years let us know about any products of their labors under the generous dome published or produced (and prizes won) since 2000 that are not listed in the current and retrospective compilations, and we will happily add them. We also welcome the donation of published items to the AAS library.

Please contact Elizabeth Pope (epope[at]mwa.org), Head of Readers' Services, to suggest a title for inclusion.

Note:
* Based on work done while an AAS fellow or research associate
