The Archive of European Integration (AEI) at http://aei.pitt.edu is an electronic Open Access repository and archive for key research materials on the topic of European integration and unification which have traditionally existed only in paper format and have been difficult for researchers to find and use. Factors leading to the creation of the AEI at the University of Pittsburgh are described and a detailed overview of the contents of the AEI and their sources is provided, including official EU documents and a wealth of grey literature about the EU. The role of the AEI in providing access to EU research materials and the relationship of the AEI to other online sources is explored. Projected growth and enhancement of the AEI is described.
