The Archive of European Integration (AEI) is an electronic repository and archive for research materials on the topic of European integration and unification. The AEI collects two types of materials: certain types of independently-produced research materials and official European Community/European Union documents.

The AEI has the goal of becoming the primary repository and archive for two types of materials:

1. independently-produced research materials (working papers, policy papers, discussion papers, conference papers, small monographs, journal or serial articles, etc.). Initially, collection here will focus on freely-available materials already on the Web. In the future, AEI staff hopes to collect materials in other formats, i.e., paper, word-processing files. The AEI's goal is to collect all appropriate materials in these categories not already accessible through ERPA.
2. documents published by the European Community/European Union. There are two general guidelines here:
   1. the goal is to collect key historical documents in each policy area, documents and reports which provide the basic information on the development and implementation of Community policies. Most documents collected will be among the following types: COM Documents; SEC documents; annual or general reports; Green and White Papers and supplements; committee reports.
   2. the focus will be almost exclusively on collecting documents not readily available in electronic format elsewhere, such as one of the EU websites. For example, the EU has published many series beginning as far back as the 1950s, but only the most recent volumes are on the Web. In appropriate cases, the AEI will publish all volumes except those on the EU databases, thereby providing a full set.
