The Alexandria Archive Institute

The Alexandria Archive Institute (AAI) is a non-profit entity working to improve research and teaching through innovative uses of the Web.

Our 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.
