HAI Announces New Headquarters Featuring Expanded Services

History Associates Incorporated (HAI) has moved to a new headquarters at 300 North Stonestreet Avenue in Rockville Town Center. The custom-built facility offers a number of new features. Foremost, HAI clients can now store records—including archives and artifacts—in temperature- and humidity-controlled archival storage and processing areas. Also available to clients at the facility are:

• New physical access: reading room, reference and research services, and reproduction, digital imaging, and courier services;

• Intellectual control: archival processing rooms, finding aids and databases, and professionally trained archival staff;

• Preservation: climate control and compliance with archival storage standards; and

• Protection: 24-hour security, limited access, and compliance with national fire detection and suppression standards.

The building at 300 North Stonestreet Avenue was originally built for the Public Health Service and used as a lab until the 1960s. More recently, it was home to a mailing services company. North Stonestreet Avenue is located just north of the Rockville Metro station and parallel to Rockville Pike.

History Associates provides business, government, and nonprofit clients with professional historical research, writing, archives, and records management services worldwide. One of the largest and most diversified historical and archival services firms in the United States, HAI has been helping organizations recover, understand, and effectively communicate their history since 1981.
