At the University of Alabama in Huntsville, research and education in the field of aerospace engineering has been a significant part of the history and identity of UAH. Thus, the M. Louis Salmon Library at UAH has a long history of collecting and providing access to publications from AIAA; these have included books, reports, documents, conference papers, and more.
This link will return those AIAA publications available through the Library Catalog in Primo Pathfinder. (As with any search in Primo Pathfinder, the filters can be used to narrow down results by publication year, or by availability of full-text online, or by the type of publication, etc.)
In the past, the UAH Library received print subscriptions to several AIAA Journals. Some of those older journals can still be viewed in the print journal collections (on the second floor), and others have been moved to the UAH Archives and Special Collections (on the lower level). That list of older print journals from AIAA can be viewed here.
The UAH Archives and Special Collections collects, organizes, preserves, and makes accessible materials of enduring value that support the research strengths of the university.
As such, a small number of older AIAA documents have been included within the collections.
In January 2022, the UAH Library added a large print collection of AIAA conference papers, from 1963 through 2005. These papers are shelved on the 2nd floor of the Library, before the start of the journal / periodical collections. (Note that the papers for 1963-2000 have been bound; the later papers are filed loosely in storage boxes.)
A brief record for these papers was recorded in Primo Pathfinder (link), but note that it does NOT reflect the indexing for individual papers from each conference in that collection.
It is advisable to use the AIAA Meeting Papers (2022-) database as an index for these.
You can then come to the Salmon Library, to see if the AIAA papers on the 2nd floor (shelved at the start of the print journal collections) includes this paper.
Also in 2022, in order to complement the collection of older conference papers in print (described above), the UAH Library began subscribing to online conference & meeting papers from AIAA, starting with 2022.
AIAA also provides access to these through the Aerospace Research Central (ARC). Currently-enrolled UAH students and active UAH employees can access the AIAA database through this link:
Again, please note that this portal ONLY provides online access for conference papers / meeting papers from 2022 and later.
As of 2025, UAH does not have a subscription to any of the AIAA Journals.
However, there is a method for UAH students, faculty, and researchers to access the articles from those journals.
Starting in 2022, the UAH Library implemented Article Galaxy Scholar (AGS) as a service for currently-registered students and for current employees. AGS provides fast access for UAH researchers to journal articles that are not available through UAH Library subscriptions.
The Library's AGS page has more information on how to use this service.
In summary, if you are searching in Primo Pathfinder for an AIAA journal article and your results include a link for "Article Galaxy Scholar", please try that link. (It should take you either to the full text of the document or to the ILL portal.)
In addition, as noted above (link), some older volumes from certain AIAA journals are also available in hard-copy in the print collections in the Salmon Library.
