The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR) at the American Philosophical Society is pleased to invite attendees of the Linguistic Society of America Annual Meeting to an Open House in our offices on Thursday, January 9th, 2025. 

***Because we have very limited space, we are requiring pre-registration for every individual who would like to attend***

We are also sharing information about how to make a research appointment in the APS Reading Room. Reading Room appointments are independent from your Open House session registration. 

If you have questions about either process, don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

 

Register for the Open House

We have scheduled two Open House sessions for the afternoon of Thursday, January 9. Each session will last 75 minutes and can accommodate up to 20 attendees. The Open House will include an opportunity to see the APS Library and the CNAIR office, meet CNAIR staff, and view a selection of materials from the collections. You'll also learn about CNAIR activities, and opportunities to work with us, through conducting research, applying for APS fellowships and grants, participating in CNAIR programming, and other forums for collaboration.

Because space is limited, registration is required for every individual who plans to attend. For groups who would like to attend, please complete a separate registration for each individual. Please select the session that works for your schedule and use the JotForm link to register.

 

Conducting Research in the Collections

If you would like to conduct research in the APS collections while you are in Philadelphia, you may do so by emailing our Appointments Desk at [email protected] to reserve a space in our Reading Room. 

Note that space in the Reading Room is also is limited, and we recommend making your reservation well in advance of your visit. More information about conducting research in the Library, including policies, procedures, and open hours, can be found here.
