The Archives of American Mathematics (AAM) is a unit of the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. It is the only US archival repository dedicated solely to collecting and preserving the papers and records of mathematicians and mathematical organizations. On this site, visitors can read about the history of the AAM in an interview with Carol Mead, who is the chief archivist at the AAM. After that, visitors should go along to the Featured Collections area, which contains papers from over a dozen distinguished mathematicians including Paul Halmos, William Chinn, and Lawrence Biedenharn. One area that should not be missed is the Two Audio Collections. Here, visitors can listen to selected shows from the "Math Medley Program," which featured interviews with a range of mathematicians, including Sue White and Valerie DeBellis on the "Emotions of Mathematics."
