What do the Hetch Hetchy Dam, cybernetics, the sewing machine and the Wright Brother's Wind Tunnel have in common? All are documented in original correspondence, patents, memos, test results and other materials held in the MIT Institute Archives and Special Collections, which holds MIT theses from 1868, copies of MIT publications, official records of the Institute, rare books and personal papers of many scientists and leaders in their field. Whether research is a class requirement, an avocation or an occupation, learn about the Institute Archives, its holdings and how you can use its many primary source materials for your research.
