Founded in 1812 by printer Isaiah Thomas, the Society collects, preserves, and makes accessible books, pamphlets, newspapers, and printed visual art produced in what is now the United States between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. At 17,000 volumes, the AAS Children’s Literature Collection is the most comprehensive collection of its kind in the world.
