To set up an appointment at the American University Archives and Special Collections, please email archives@american.edu or call (202) 885-3256.
Once you have contacted a staff member, we will discuss what collection and boxes will be most helpful for your visit.
Many of our collections are stored off-site, so please plan to schedule an appointment onsite approximately 2 days after requesting collections materials.
The archive is open to visitors from 10am-4pm Monday-Thursday, and is closed Friday-Sunday and on University Holidays.
When visitors arrive at the archive, they will be allowed to bring pencils, notebooks or computers into the reading room, but food, drink, or bags must be stored in or lockers.
For further questions, please email archives@american.edu
