About AIM

What does Assyrian Information Management do?

AIM is a virtual Internet-based organization which created and currently develops atour.com.

Founded on December 10, 1996, the organization's primary objective is to promote Assyrian history, language, culture and most importantly, to bring international awareness and recognition to the Assyrian nation, both in our homeland and throughout the world.

The organization develops many Internet related projects, click on the Projects section for details.  AIM is also independent of political persuasion, tribal affiliation, religious creed and is financed primarily by donations and sponsors.

The server and its websites consisting of web documents, images, photographs, audio and video files, are blended together to form a successful Internet presence.

Who is part of the organization?

The people developing the website(s) are Assyrians and their scope of work and participation varies according to their experience and skill levels.  There are also English-speaking friends who write, translate and forward articles.  All are volunteers and devote their time to bring tangible results for our communities.

Our website presence continues to grow because of our reader's dedication of forwarding information to us for posting, to ensure our communities are aware of global events which may effect us.  Thus, if you've previously sent us an article, document, audio or video file, photograph, community news, or any other type of material, then you are also part of our development family.

Listed below are some ways to help us develop Internet projects, please refer to the volunteer Positions section for further details.

  • Advanced — hands-on approach by actually designing and developing website sections
  • Intermediate — gathering documentation and photographs, and forwarding that information to be posted by us
  • Beginners (new to the Internet) — have fundraising efforts within your local organizations and communities to financially support our Internet presence

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb
