Transforming Archivists. Transforming Archives.

University of Virginia | June 8-14, 2025

The Archives Leadership Institute (ALI) is a program of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and will be hosted at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, for the years 2024-2026. Consisting of a week-long, in-person experience followed by quarterly virtual gatherings, ALI seeks to build the capacity of mid-career archivists as leaders both in their own institutions and in the archives field. Over the course of a year, members of the cohort will undertake a project that they will create and that will explore some aspect of the profession.

ALI@Virginia 2025 will take place from June 8-14, 2025, at the University of Virginia. Cohort members will participate in daylong workshops focusing on strategies for archival leadership, such as ethics of care and mutual aid; responsible stewardship and partnerships; social justice and intercultural relations; and more. The ALI@Virginia experience is grounded in place and landscape, allowing the cohort to explore leadership through the lens of the unique emotional and historical landscape that the University of Virginia offers.

The application process begins on November 13, 2024. The application portal will close on January 20, 2025.
