The American Schools of
Oriental Research (ASOR) is a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization that
supports and encourages the study of the cultures and history of the
Near East, from the earliest times to the present. ASOR is apolitical
and has no religious affiliation.
We were founded in 1900 by
twenty one institutions—including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and
Columbia. Over a century later, ASOR has more than 90 consortium
institutions, including universities, seminaries, museums, foundations,
and libraries. In addition, we have more than 1,550 individual members.
ASOR
communicates news of the latest research findings in our publications,
through lectures at the Annual Meeting, and our overseas institutes host
scholars working in the Middle East. ASOR's book series and journals,
such as Near Eastern Archaeology and the Bulletin of ASOR, are intended
for both a lay audience and specialist archaeologists, historians, and
Biblical scholars. ASOR's Annual Meeting brings together scholars from
around the world to present their latest findings and discuss their
research. Our independent overseas institutes in Cyprus, Israel, and
Jordan facilitate research in the field by students and scholars.
Fellowship programs are available to provide funds for work at these
institutes as well as for Mesopotamian studies and student travel to the
Annual Meeting.
