AAS embarked on a building expansion project in the spring of 2017. This project will strengthen our ability to be the premiere library of record of pre-twentieth-century American imprints. This new three-story, 7,000-square-foot addition to Antiquarian Hall will dramatically increase our capacity to preserve and to share the multitude of American stories documented in the printed record of our nation’s past. It will feature a mechanical room to house a modern HVAC system, ensuring high-quality climate control for collection preservation; a flexible multipurpose room for programming; and a state-of-the-art conservation lab.
