The American Center of Research

The American Center of Research (formerly the American Center of Oriental Research) was established in 1968 to serve as a hub in Jordan for scholars of the region. Our history has a particular emphasis on archaeology, but includes robust support for historians, ethnographers, sociologists, political scientists, biologists, and various other scholars of literature, language, and the arts. In recent decades, we have expanded to promote and support research across a broad swath of the social, natural and physical sciences, humanities, and the arts.
