The American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR), founded in 1900 as the American School of Oriental Study and Research in Palestine, supports and encourages the study of the peoples and cultures of the Near East, from the earliest times to the present. It is apolitical and has no religious affiliation. Susan Ackerman has been President since 2014.^[1]^[2]

ASOR supports three independent overseas institutes:

Albright Institute of Archaeological Research, Jerusalem, - former directors of which include Millar Burrows who was instrumental in the first publications of the Dead Sea scrolls.
Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute, Nicosia.
American Center of Oriental Research, Amman.

The overseas institutes support scholars working in the Middle East that focus on Near Eastern Archaeology, Semitic languages, history, and Biblical studies. All institutes are also members of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers.

Annual conference

ASOR convenes a scholarly conference once a year in North America, always beginning 8 days before Thanksgiving (on a Wednesday evening) and running through Saturday evening.

2008 - Boston, MA and drew over 730 scholars and interested lay members from around the world.

2009 - New Orleans, LA.

2018 - Denver, CO.

2019 - San Diego, CA.

Publications

ASOR also publishes three scholarly publications. Two of the journals are academic flagships in their respective areas: the Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research presents archaeological, historical, and epigraphic articles on topics from the ancient Near East, and the Journal of Cuneiform Studies presents articles in English, German, and French on Mesopotamian topics. The organization also publishes Near Eastern Archaeology, a quarterly that reports recent research for both popular and professional audiences. Starting in 2019, all three ASOR journals will be published by the University of Chicago Press.
