What do we do?

The Centre was founded in 1987 to provide an information service for schools and colleges in the United Kingdom which are engaged in any study involving the United States.

It maintains a wide collection of teaching materials (including video tapes and computer software) on American politics, history, geography, science and technology, art, and popular culture. The recently updated catalogue listing all resources costs £4. This is available on the centre's website, and requires a log-on I.D.

Schools and colleges wishing to make use of the Centre's loan facilities should write to the above address on School/College headed paper. 

The Centre also has packs of videos that deal with four Supreme Court cases and which will be donated to any school or college (at postage cost only) that has a video machine capable of playing NTSC VHS videos. (Please note that these videos are not compatible with PAL VHS systems; therefore check your machine before contacting the Centre.) Each request for AV materials will be subject to a handling charge of £1, (per request, not per item) on top of postage.
