About the History and Archives Project

The History of Accelerators and Particle Physics Collection contains multi-media records of the high-energy physics laboratories of the world and their experiments. Research materials on the history of Fermilab are part of these holdings.

The Milton G. White History of Accelerators Room, adjacent to the Fermilab Library on the 3rd floor of Wilson Hall, is a research reading room where several of the collections are located. The History and Archives House is located at 18 Neuqua Street in the Fermilab Village.

The historical collection from the archives of the Superconducting Super Collider was accessioned into the Fermilab Archives in 1995. A limited amount of the collection has been processed and is available for research. Please contact the Archivist for assistance.

For research assistance please contact the Archivist at 630-840-2543 (WH3SE) or 630-840-5177 (History & Archives House) or 630-840-2623 (FAX). You may also submit an Archives Request online or pick up a form outside the Reading Room.

Copying facilities for documents and photographs are conveniently located. Assistance with collections of sound and visual recordings is available upon request.
