I am certain that everyone who has the privilege to work at the American Antiquarian Society feels this lucky, but I am happy to count myself among the fellows who have benefited tremendously from the generosity and resources of your wonderful institution. – Sari Altschuler Legacy Fellow
I have never conducted research at a site with staff as knowledgeable, engaged, forthcoming about collections, and, simply, kind and helpful as the one at the AAS. It is very clear that the collections, and their use by researchers, are the focus of the organization. That this mission comes through every day, and through every action, reflects upon the resources and priorities at the AAS. – Anne Verplanck Last Fellow
