The American Montessori Society Archives, documenting
the history of our organization going back to its earliest
days, are housed at the Thomas
J. Dodd Research Center at the University
of Connecticut in Storrs. The collection, consisting of printed,
typescript, and handwritten materials; sound recordings; films;
photographs; and slides, reflects the professional and administrative
activities of AMS and provides historical information about
the Montessori system of education.
The collection is open to the public. Hours
of accessibility vary throughout
the year.
Detailed information about the AMS
Collection can be found on the Dodd Center website.
Items are added on a regular basis.
An article about the AMS Archives was published in the University
of Connecticut newspaper, The Advance. To read the
article, click on the title: “Montessori
Society records given to Dodd Center archives.”
The Dodd Center encourages and supports research by offering
travel grants to graduate students and other scholars who
must travel long distances to use their facilities. Information
about the travel
grants can be viewed on the Dodd Center
website.
