AALL Archives HoldingsThe AALL Archives includes approximately 282.2 cu. feet in 210 record series. The collection is arranged according to a three-part scheme of record group, sub-group, and record series number. The five main groupings are as follows: 85/1/001-199 contain records of the Executive Board, officers, and administrators at AALL headquarters; 85/1/200-399 include the papers of past presidents and personal papers of other association members; 85/1/400-499 consist of committees (both standing and special); 85/1/500-599 contain Special Interest Sections; and 85/1/600-699 hold records and publications of chapters and regional associations. Supplemental finding aids (box and folder lists) are available for several record series. Highlights of the collection include photographs of AALL annual conventions dating back to 1910 (85/1/157), annual meeting programs (85/1/150), transcripts (85/1/156), video and audio tapes (85/1/158 and 85/1/160, respectively), and papers of past presidents, including A.J.
