Books & Periodicals
We publish works with assistance of grant funding, partnerships and dedicated volunteers that cover a variety of conservation and collection care topics for the benefit of conservation, preservation, and collection care professionals. They are available for free in our library or for purchase through our online stores.
Types of Publications
We publish a bimonthly member newsletter, a scholarly journal, and about 10 conference proceedings.
- JAIC is a peer-reviewed journal managed by AIC and published by Taylor & Francis.
- Postprints are conference proceedings managed by various groups within AIC, published by AIC. These are not typically peer-reviewed, though they are reviewed by an editor.
- AIC News, our member newsletter, is written by AIC and FAIC volunteers, staff, and board.
- Books are produced occasionally, often in tandem with other organizations.
- Some electronic books were donated to FAIC to be shared at no or low cost with the public.
