About the Institutes
AERI 2010 is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and is one of a series of week-long Archival Education and Research Institutes (AERI), to be held in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. AERI brings together incoming and continuing doctoral students and faculty from across the United States and worldwide.
The goals of AERI aim to advance the field of Archival Studies by:
- Creating a dynamic community of researchers, teachers, and students to help mentor doctoral students and faculty in areas such as thesis writing, grant writing, publishing, and career development.
- Advancing curriculum development in Archival Studies.
- Furthering current research development through presentations, posters, and workshop activities.
- Fostering interest in future collaborations both nationally and internationally. AERI will provide a dynamic venue for archival researchers and teachers to interact in an intensive, collegial collaborative environment.
