We reduced forty file drawers to ten.  Remaining tasks are scanning, emailing PDFs to Wendell Refior to become website links, and finally uploading to website. You can see the curriculum resources grow at: https://icaglobalarchives.org/collections/spiritmovement/academy/ .

Consider participating in helping us in this task by doing onsite work at ICA or working from home (i.e., making your files PDFS or doing website editing). For the remainder of 2021, the fourth week of each month will be focused in Chicago on Archive work (August 21-29, September 25-October 3, October 23-31, and November 25-December 5).  Join for any length of time.
