Welcome!
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is one of the world's
leading research laboratories. Established in 1962 at Stanford
University in Menlo Park, California, as a particle physics research center, SLAC
is now a multipurpose laboratory for astrophysics, photon science, accelerator
and particle physics research.
SLAC's Archives and History Office is a coordinate archive to the
Stanford University Archives. As such, it ensures that the Laboratory's
history is identified, collected, preserved and made accessible to the
SLAC and Stanford communities, to researchers and to the public.
Founded in 1989, the AHO has primary responsibility for the Laboratory's
documentary heritage, but relies on the 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 by Stanford University entities
operating on the SLAC campus;
- Ensures compliance with relevant state and federal laws
and with DOE records management policies and procedures;
- Promotes knowledge of the Laboratory's unique history and important
scientific and technical accomplishments;
- Assists in the use of its collections by members of
the Laboratory and University communities, visiting scholars,
and the public.
- Adheres to the International Council on Archives (ICA)
