The Arctic Institute of North America (AINA) announces publication of
the September 2008 issue of the journal ARCTIC, now in its 61st year of
continuous publication. A non-profit membership organization and
multidisciplinary research institute of the University of Calgary,
AINA's mandate is to advance the study of the North American and
circumpolar Arctic through the natural and social sciences, as well as
the arts and humanities, and to acquire, preserve, and disseminate
information on physical, environmental, and social conditions in the
North. Created as a bi-national corporation in 1945, the Institute's
United States Corporation is housed at the University of Alaska
Fairbanks.
