The Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland produces a newletter - IAI News - on an bi-annual basis. This is circulated to members as an e-document and can also be downloaded from the website. Back issues of IAI News and its predecessor IAPA News will shortly be made available for download also.

In November 2002 the Journal of Archaeology was adopted by the then newly formed Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland. All members receive a copy of each issue of the journal on publication. Non-members can order the journal directly from the publishers Wordwell Ltd.

Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe - Project Report

In 2006, the IAI was invited to participate in the European Association of Archaeologists project Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe in partnership with the Institute of Field Archaeologists in the UK. The Disco project is a study of archaeological practice across twelve countries of the European Union, funded by the European Commission through the Leonardo da Vinci II fund.
The IAI commissioned University College Dublin to undertake the Irish section of the survey, with generous funding support from the Heritage Council, and the project report is now complete and available for download here.
