The Study Center and Archival Library are open to students, academics, and professionals, as well as to the public.

Foundation for Recovery Museum

The Foundation for Recovery is happy to exhibit a large and diverse collection of historical materials and memorabilia related to addiction and recovery. At the Foundation museum, you can view unique displays ranging from early "cure-all" medicinal bottles and advertisements, to portable electroshock therapy devices once used to "cure" addiction to historical twelve-step materials and drafts. The Foundation for Recovery maintains one of the largest displays of original materials from various recovery movements with a particularly large collection from Narcotics Anonymous.
