The Institute of Carmelite Studies (ICS) is a not-for-profit organization founded in the 1960s by friars of the Washington Province of Discalced Carmelites to promote a richer understanding and study of the Carmelite heritage. They encourage scholarship among their members and others who seek to deepen an appreciation of Carmel's spirit and traditions. They collaborate with similar organizations around the world, such as the Carmelite Forum, the Carmelite Institute in Washington, D.C., the Archivum Carmelitanum Edith Stein in Würzburg, Germany, and the Institutum Carmelitanum in Rome. In recent years they have begun an extensive collection of documents, papers, and publications related to Carmel. This collection is currently located at the Discalced Carmelite monastery in Washington, D.C., and is open to scholars by appointment. (Nearby is the more extensive Carmelitana Collection at Whitefriars Hall in Northeast Washington.)
