Category:American Antiquarian Society members
The American Antiquarian Society is a research library and scholarly organization founded in 1812 in Worcester, Massachusetts, dedicated to collecting and preserving materials related to the history and culture of America through 1876. The society maintains one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of American historical materials, including books, pamphlets, broadsides, manuscripts, maps, and newspapers from the colonial period through the late 19th century.
Membership in the American Antiquarian Society is by election and is considered a significant honor in the fields of American history, literature, and bibliography. The society elects both active members, who are typically scholars, librarians, and other professionals actively engaged in research related to early American history and culture, and inactive members, who are distinguished individuals who have made notable contributions to American letters, scholarship, or public service.
