Archival Education and Research Institute (AERI) 2016

Welcome!

The Archival Education and Research Institute (AERI) is dedicated to supporting archival education. Part of a broader effort called Building the Future of Archival Education and Research Initiative, AERI was originally funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). 2016 was the eighth consecutive year AERI brought together incoming and continuing doctoral students, recent doctoral graduates, and faculty from across the United States and worldwide.

Dates: July 8 to 12, 2016
Location: Kent State University, Kent, Ohio

Sponsors

AERI 2016 was part of an ongoing project called Building the Future of Archival Education and Research, which has received two four-year grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services – Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. This project works in collaboration with leading archival education programs in the U.S. to train and support future archival faculty. This initiative aims to stimulate the growth of a new generation of academics in archival education who are versed in contemporary issues and knowledgeable of the work being conducted by colleagues. To achieve this goal, the project nurtures and promotes state-of-the-art scholarship in Archival Science, broadly conceived, and encourages curricular and pedagogical innovation in archival education across the United States and worldwide.
