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 in the
areas of archives and records from across the United States and worldwide.
The goals of AERI aim to advance the field of Archival
Studies by:
1. 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.
2. Advancing curriculum development in
Archival Studies.
3. Furthering current research
development through presentations, posters, and workshop activities.
4. 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. Future hosts for the Institute will
include the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (2011) and the University
of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) (2012).
