About The Alexandria Archive Institute

The Alexandria Archive Institute (AAI) is a non-profit entity supporting research and development to enhance scholarly communications and instruction through innovative use of the Web. We do this through Web-based publication, with a focus on primary data—information that rarely sees dissemination.

Our work aims to allow for greater breadth and depth of understanding—breadth resulting from open accessibility, and depth from sharing of primary content. This breadth and depth will promote greater transparency in the research process, innovative reuses of datasets, and broad-scale, collaborative research.

The AAI supports a range of projects, funded primarily by government and private foundation grants. All projects work toward our mission of enhancing scholarship through use of the Open Web. 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.
