Founded in 1883, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) was the first non-profit, animal advocacy and educational organization in the United States, and is dedicated to ending experimentation on animals in research, testing, and education.

A preliminary inventory of their records is available at the repository.

This collection contains preserved versions of the American Anti-Vivisection Society's website. To access these sites, see the Temple University Special Collections Urban Archives Archive-It web page: https://www.archive-it.org/collections/4487

Additions to this collection are expected. Websites are captured using Archive-It periodically, and the latest additions may not yet be included in this finding aid. For information on material–physical and digital, including captured websites–that may have been added since the last finding aid update, please contact the Special Collections Research Center.
