[Dialogue] Archives week in Chicago

[Ellie Stock]

 Hi Karen,
Thanks for your and everyone's work on the archives.
A couple of years ago (?) I sent Jean Long a copy of our 1974 Rochester Region Global Odyssey participants' booklet (including the script for our post-trip slide presentation) and a copy of our Global Odyssey 40th Reunion booklet.  Could you please check to see if they made it to the files?  Thanks!

Colleagues,

Major work is being done on the Global Archives at the ICA in Chicago in the lasttwo weeks of July.  We are focused on theArchives goal of “CREATING THE FUTURE OF OUR PAST”. 

This first week we (Ed Feldmanis,Laura Grover, Debra Harris, Karen Snyder) engaged in sorting and scanning Archivesfor the website so it is available to the world.  Our accomplishments include:

* Emptying 30 file cabinet drawers in the basement

*  Preparing Global Odyssey materials, the UrImages course and Religious Studies I (RSI) course for scanning and adding tothe website. We were surprised to find RSI course material in five languages (English, French, German, Korean, Spanish). 



Our goal for the second week is to post on the website theReligious, Cultural and Methods course materials from the 1960s that informed thecurriculum for Academies, International Training Institutes, Human DevelopmentTraining Schools, and ToP. The Global Archives opening pages can be read in anylanguage; embedded files can be copied to a Google doc for translation.

We can use your help in a number of ways:

*  Did you participate in one of the seven GlobalOdysseys in the 1970s? If you are willing to share your notes about experiencesand photos, scan and email them as soon as possible. Or box and mail them tothe attention of the Global Archives at ICA (4750 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago60640). 

*  Tell us what should be the next priorities volunteers should work on after we complete thecurriculum. And always it is helpful to know what is helpful/needs help as you view the website.

* As information is added to the website, there ismuch contextual writing needed to make the info more understandable (andinteresting) as well as editing. If you are willing to work with any of the ninecollections to do editing and writing, email Karen Snyder (karen.snyder10 at gmail.com).

We look forward to hearing from you,

Ed Feldmanis, Laura Grover, Debra Harris, Karen Snyder
