The University Archives has a variety of American University publications.

Talon

The American University undergraduate yearbook was first published in 1926. In 1956, it was renamed the Talon, which represents the claw of AU’s mascot, Clawed the Eagle.

The University Archives has a complete set of AU yearbooks. Some volumes are also available in the library Reference collection. AU has digital copies of the Talon searchable through the Internet Archive. The most recent editions of the Talon have been digitized; however, they may only be viewed on campus to protect students' privacy. Alumni who would like access should contact the University Archives.

The archive does not have yearbooks available to purchase

The Eagle

American University's undergraduate student newspaper, The Eagle, began its run in November 1925 as The American Eagle with the publication of its first four-page issue.
