Enroll in One – Attend All Five

If you want an archives education that offers high quality and rich diversity, look no further than the AEC schools. At AEC schools, archives students have classmates and instructors on five campuses in five different states, but AEC classes look and feel very much as if everyone were in a single classroom. Interested? Read on.

The AEC schools, Auburn University, Indiana University, Louisiana State University, Middle Tennessee State University, and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, share faculty and students through live classes delivered as compressed video over Internet 2; they provide their students one of the finest archives education programs in the United States.

Each university teaches its own Introduction to Archives course and provides courses, taught by a specialist in the topic, to the partner schools. From Auburn: Advanced Appraisal and the History of Archives and Records Keeping; from Indiana:

Records Management and the Management of Electronic Records; from LSU: a course in the application of EAD and EAC and Advanced Issues in Access to Archival Materials; from MTSU: the Management of Archives and Museum Collections and Public Programming for Archives and Museums; and from Wisconsin: Technology for Archivists and Reference and Outreach for Archives.

The diversity of courses and the specialized knowledge of the faculty make the AEC offerings challenging and rewarding. The live interaction among students and faculty from five universities make them especially rich. But they cost no more than regular courses on campus. By combining the AEC courses with their own archives-related courses, all the schools provide a unique archives specialization to students on their home campuses.

For an education in archives management that goes beyond the ordinary, consider the AEC and the AEC schools.
