About:

The Alexandria Archive Institute (AAI)’s work aims for greater breadth and depth of scholarly understanding: breadth resulting from open accessibility; and depth from the sharing of primary content, information that rarely sees dissemination. This promotes transparency in the research process, innovative reuses of data, and broad-scale collaborative research.

The AAI undertakes a range of projects, funded primarily by government and private foundation grants. The primary focus of our work is Open Context, an open access Web-based publication system for archaeology and other field sciences. In addition to this long-term project, we are involved in other collaborative undertakings.

What Are Digital Archives?

A digital archive is a system for storing and preserving digital information, such as historical documents and contracts for long-term access and retrieval. The goal of digital archiving is to ensure the integrity and availability of digital assets by protecting them from loss and degradation.
