The Irving Archives at IAM includes documents, photographs, maps, films, oral histories, and artifacts. Available for exploration and research by appointment.

Visitors can also find out about other sites and places to visit in Irving, including our three other museums: The Ruth Paine House Museum, The Jackie Townsell Bear Creek Heritage Center, and the Mustangs of Las Colinas.
