The AMC 12 A/B is the flagship math competition offered by the AMC. The competition has been offered to high school students since 1950 and has gone by many names: the American High School Mathematics Examination (1983-1999), the Annual High School Mathematics Examination (1973-1982), and the Annual High School Contest (1950-1972). Since as early as 1968, the organization has recognized students who have done especially well on the competition in booklets called the "Summary Results and Awards." 

These booklets were published and sent to participating schools until 2010, when the AMC switched to recognizing students online. They contain information on each year's competition like number of participating schools/students,  score distributions,  and AMC Director and Chair commentaries. They also list thousands of students honored by the AMC for their performance. 

As a part of my research, I have been collecting and digitizing these booklets in order to study STEM education in the United States. I believe I have built the largest surviving archive of these documents. That said, I am still missing many booklets I know to exist. Below I describe the current archives and highlight the documents I am still searching for.

The High School Summary of Results and Awards booklets are those corresponding to the longstanding, original high school competition. They contain results for the AMC 12 A/B, American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), and the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO). I have collected and digitized every booklet from 1980 - 2010 and also compiled the digital results from 2011 to 2022. In aggregation, these booklets tell the fascinating story of an organization, which has consistently identified young people who would go on to contribute greatly to the world, economically and scientifically. The introduction from the 1990 high school booklet is provided here. 

I am still searching for the booklets for years 1950-1967 and 1969-1979. I am offering $100 per missing booklet.

The AMC began offering a middle school competition in 1985. While originally called the American Junior High School Mathematics Examination (AJHSME), since 2000, it has simply been called the AMC 8. Like the high school booklets, these middle school booklets contain general information on the competition as well as information on recognized students. I have completed the digital archive of these booklets (1985-2022). The introduction from the 1990 middle school booklet is provided here. 

I am still looking to acquire for the physical booklets for years 1988, 1989, and 1991-1994 for a physical archive.

While the high school and middle school summaries provide information on all states, some states published their own booklets with richer information.  I do not know which states did and did not publish their own state booklets, but I have located some from California, Ohio, Tennessee, and Washington. 

I am still searching for most of these state booklets. I am offering between $25 and $100 per missing booklet depending on the contents, state, and year.
