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 historical collection from the archives of the Superconducting Super Collider were 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.

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.

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 complete an Archives Request Form online or pick one up 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.

The SLAC Archives and History Office Advisory Committee is a standing committee charged with advising SLAC management on the goals, policies, and activities of the SLAC Archives and History program. While the Advisory Committee's emphasis may change over time, its initial effort will include the following areas:

• Review the current archives and history program and assess how well it is fulfilling its mission and meeting DOE requirements.
• Evaluate SLAC's near-term (1-2 year) archival needs and recommend needed changes.
• Evaluate SLAC's longer-term (8-10 year) needs and strategy.
• Review and comment on the Office's mission, goals, policies, and activities.
• Prepare a report on these points and any other subject which may arise during the Committee's deliberations.

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a national facility operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy and the physics community to conduct basic research in high energy physics and synchrotron radiation.

SLAC's Archives and History Office ensures that SLAC's history is identified, collected, preserved and made accessible to the SLAC and Stanford communities, to researchers and the public.

Founded in 1989, the AHO has primary responsibility for SLAC's documentary heritage, but relies on the SLAC community to help it in this endeavor.

The SLAC Archives and History Office has the following responsibilities:

• Serves as a repository for documentation of the Laboratory's organizational and scientific history;
• Evaluates, selects, and preserves specific materials of archival significance created at SLAC;
• Ensures compliance with relevant state and federal laws and with DOE records management policies and procedures;
• Promotes knowledge of SLAC's unique history and important scientific and technical accomplishments;
• Assists in the use of its collections by members of the SLAC and University communities, visiting scholars, and the public.

The CERN Archive was created in 1980 as part of CERN's commitment to the CERN History Study. In 1989 its mandate was extended to create the CERN Historical and Scientific Archive. The Archive serves as an information source for CERN Management, as a place of research, and as a repository for documentation of the work of the Organisation. The CERN archiving policy is under the responsibility of the Director-General of CERN, represented by the following two committees:
