The MIT General Collection is comprised of artifacts and visual and written materials that support the Museum's mission by documenting the history of MIT and its role in the development of American science, technology, and engineering. One component of this collection is the Museum's renowned hacking archives, which traces MIT's rich history of technological tomfoolery and pranks.
Assistance is also available via mail, e-mail, fax, or telephone.
Related materials can be found at the Institute Archives and Special Collections of the MIT Libraries, which collects the official records of MIT's academic and administrative offices and committees, the personal and professional records of faculty, staff and students, MIT publications, and students' written theses.
