Albert Gore Research Center, Middle Tennessee State University

The Albert Gore Research Center is a unit of the College of Liberal Arts at Middle Tennessee State University. The center is open to the public with the primary purpose to assist researchers interested in our collections. The center collects, arranges, maintains, and preserves all manner of historical materials about MTSU history, American democracy, equine studies, and life in Middle Tennessee. The center maintains the institutional archive of Middle Tennessee State University.

The Albert Gore Research Center is the repository for the papers of Albert Gore, Sr., from his time serving in both the United States House of representatives and the United States Senate. The collection includes correspondence, some photographs, audio tapes, and videotapes. Books, pamphlets, and other research materials used by Gore and his staff have been retained. More recently the center has received the Congressional papers of other Members of Congress, including Bart Gordon, MTSU class of 1971. These papers are housed in the center's Archive of American Democracy.
