I have received the following availability announcement from the Rare Book, 
Manuscript, and Special Collections Library at Duke, and pass it on to HES: 
 
"A fine complement to the RBMSCL's premier collection of economists' 
papers, the records of the American Economic Association provide rich 
documentation of the development of the field of economics in the United 
States throughout the 20th century. Much of the massive collection, which 
dates from 1886 through 1998, relates to the Association's publications, 
American Economic Review, The Journal of Economic Literature, and The 
Journal of Economic Perspectives. Besides administrative records, there are 
numerous other journal office files with correspondence, manuscripts, and 
book reviews. Materials related to the organization's Committee on the 
Status of Women in the Economics Profession are noteworthy. Over 1,000 
boxes include histories, minutes, and statistics, as well as membership 
information and black-and-white photographs. See a preliminary collection 
inventory at

Some of the materials in this collection are restricted and some are not 
immediately accessible before they require further processing before use. 
Please contact RBMSCL Research Service staff before visiting us to use this 
collection: (919) 660-5822 ([log in to unmask])."
