The AFS Archive
The AFS Virtual Museum consists of two facets: The AFS Story and The Archive.
As in every museum, many of the items are not on display, but in storage! The Archive holds a comprehensive collection of material on the history of AFS and the American Field Service – images, letters, documents, video clips, audio files and some biographical information on ambulance drivers and, to a lesser extent, AFS notables.
Please bear in mind that this is a work in progress and that additions are being made on an on-going basis. Should you find any mistakes, feel free to contact us.
