AERI 2012 was hosted at the University of California, Los Angeles from July 9-13, 2012. The institute brought together incoming and continuing doctoral students, faculty and professionals from across the United States and worldwide. There was a Digital Curation pre-conference, led by University of North Carolina Chapel Hill researchers, held at UCLA on July 8, 2012. Then, from July 9 to 13, plenaries generated discussion on Grand Challenges in the Archival Field, Technology and Archives, AER Doctoral Fellows research agendas, Archival Literature Analysis, and lastly, a reflection on AERI's past accomplishments and how to move our community into the future. We will also feature workshops, paper and poster presentations by U.S. and international archival scholars.

Scholarship support was available to untenured ladder faculty and doctoral students whose major focus is Archival Studies and employed by or attending U.S. academic institutions. In addition, we launched the Emerging Archival Scholars Program (EASP) (2011-2015) to encourage minority students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to consider undertaking doctoral education in Archival Studies through a scholarship opportunity to attend AERI 2012.  

AERI has been funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.  This was the fourth of the week-long Archival Education and Research Institutes (AERI) that were previously held in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

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.
