The Arctic Institute of North America (AINA) announces publication of
the June 2007 issue of the journal ARCTIC, now in its 60th year of
continuous publication. A non-profit membership organization and
multidisciplinary research institute of the University of Calgary, AINA
advances the study of the North American and circumpolar Arctic through
the natural and social sciences, as well as the arts and humanities, and
acquires, preserves, and disseminates information on physical,
environmental, and social conditions in the North. Created as a
bi-national corporation in 1945, the Institute's U.S. corporation is
housed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
