What
Building the Future of Archival Education and Research represents an unprecedented and exciting collaboration among the leading archival education programs in the U.S. to train and support future archival faculty. This project is funded by two four-year grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services - Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program.
Goal
Our goal is 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. The initiative seeks to nurture and promote the state-of-the-art in scholarship in Archival Science, broadly conceived, as well as to encourage curricular and pedagogical innovation in archival education across the United States and worldwide.
