Fred Harvey Mansion. . The archives will be moved to the second floor in the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum when construction is finished.

The office is manned by a staff of dedicated volunteers that are presently working to convert the huge files of papers and photos to computer format for easier access.

The NCA Archives are a central collection point of information about carousels from the past and the present. Information and photographs you may have on any carousel are more than welcome, and receipts given for all donations for tax purposes. The facilities are available for research and study of carousel history. A complete set of the NCA publication, "Merry-Go-Roundup" is available from 1973. Some original copies are available for sale from the NCA.
