History
The ACMS was incorporated in 2002 in Austin, Texas and established its home office at Austin College. It moved its home office to Western Washington University in 2003, and opened its Mongolia office in 2004, which is currently housed in the School of Foreign Affairs at the National University of Mongolia. Since fall 2009, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for East Asian Studies has provided logistical support for the home office.
Mongolian Studies scholars and discipline based Mongolian researchers were instrumental in the establishment of the ACMS, and the United States Department of Education, United States Embassy in Mongolia, and Council for American Overseas Research Centers contributed significant financial resources to establish and operate the ACMS Mongolia office.
