The article presents a report by the Council of the American Antiquarian Society regarding the transfer of the society to a different building. The author discusses the council's nostalgia for the AAS' previous location at Court Hill in Worcester, Massachusetts but notes the transition into a fireproof building will ensure the preservation of archival materials. He comments that manuscript collections will be more easily accessible following the transition and notes the death of former AAS recording secretary Charles Augustus Chase. A motion to collaborate with the Council of the Massachusetts Historical Society to publish the diaries of ministers Increase Mather and Cotton Mather was approved.
