[Dialogue] New Social Pioneer Role: Curator Thanks Beret & Jean

[steve har]

Jean Long and Beret Grifith and the Archives Advisory Group deserve
some real recognition for recreating the Archives as an onsite and
online resource!

Thanks for making something good happen and speaking out!

YAY JEAN AND BERET, CURATORS!

About 1990 Beret wrote a paper identifying IE/OE/ICA innovations on a
1950s to 1990s timeline.

in the middle of a task or a campaign what you see [as I remember] is
a lot of work and maybe some tactics and a strategy if you are lucky.

At the Minneapolis House, the term of art for those doing TM76 set-up
was "Heavy Trecker"

Looking backward from the Curator point of view, the ICA-USA archives
looks like a terrific repository of hundreds and hundreds of
innovations any one of which could be dusted off and re-inserted into
history in the next 50 years.

TM76 is a terrific example of ICA innovation methodology which no one
really noticed in the fog of the campaign
-dream big [CS1, George West: model building
-test small: 5th city congress, west side community forums
-take the innovation to scale [3000 counties going gold
-create a virtuous circle where one good thing desirves another [many
many adaptations including at United Nations groups]

The Archives Advisory Team are writing proposals to develop the
Archives further [Beret & Sally Fenton, Karen Sims]. Two proposals
have a chance for funding.

Here is an excerpt from one which highlights the historical
significance of the TM76 Campaign
