The Alexandria Archive Institute

Description

• The Alexandria Archive Institute is a non-profit technology company that preserves and shares archaeological and related data on the Web, free of charge. Through advocacy, education, research and technology programs like Open Context, we pioneer ways to make primary research open to everyone. Archaeological findings play a pivotal role in our development as a society but the vast majority of our understanding about the human past is locked in the Ivory Tower, behind expensive pay-walls. The publics access is mostly limited to commercially and politically distorted and sensationalized fragments. These barriers impoverish learning and public understanding, and stifle discovery and progress.Our work aims to free this knowledge from academic, technological, and commercial silos. Open access to scientific literature and data powers learning. It improves our understanding of who we are, and can inspire us to shape better futures as global citizens. Eliminating access barriers to research creates more collaboration toward the greater goal of discovery. We connect with researchers on global initiatives such as sharing standards, technology, data, good practices, as well as ideas. In fact, we often fund other open access initiatives with our grant funding. Weve been fortunate to receive funding from private donors as well as organizations including the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Google, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.With the goal of expanding our efforts even further in 2017, we invite you to share in our mission by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution of any amount. Thank you for your interest in our organization. Please visit our website www.alexandriaarchive.org to learn more about our work.
