[Oe List ...] Archives Sojourn Report Spring 2013

[Sherwood Shankland]

Greetings all around. Thanks Jean and Rosemary and everyone else who is
chipping in on the archives access effort. You may already be doing this.but
I was thinking of "from this day forward" all of us who are designing and
facilitating events around the world could also be building the "current
archives". So with a few common formats in which to document our events we
could do a tip of the iceberg description to be indexed and then reference a
summary document from each event that we do. The ToP Network has
occasionally used a "Case-Story" reporting format (Jane Stallman's design,
perhaps others) for this purpose, but we are usually moving on to the next
gig and never really take the time to do a one-page summary etc. (but we
could!) 

Let's talk, I will be coming to Green 4750 in a couple of weeks.looking
forward to spending a couple of days with the archives team. More soon'

In Peace, Sherwood

Report from Global Archives Team

What a wonderful journey the Global Archives Team - on site and off - have
been on this past year .At last fall's sojourn event we had an imaginal
breakthrough relative to how we would  share the programs which were so
successful in enabling people and communities to take charge of their own
futures.

Our question had always been, "So we get these 200 file cabinets organized -
how do we share them with the world?"

The image of The Tip of The Iceberg answered that for us. As a huge iceberg
is underwater and not seen except for the tip, the thousands of Town Meeting
files would not be displayed on line - only chosen files, a video, a music
piece, and an imaginal intro explaining how the methods could be of use to
those who clicked on - only these would be in the "tip of the iceberg".

If people wanted to know more, info about that would be included.

At this Spring Sojourn, we worked on getting the appropriate documents and
videos, etc .for Town Meeting, Accelerate 77, Imaginal Ed and Service
Learning. They are close to being available online. When they are we will
send all of you the link to see them and get back to us with feedback.

We left the Spring Sojourn program with 8 additional collections to create
"tips of the iceberg" for.

.and we SANG - like we have not sung since the late '70's. The spirit is
alive and well and working on projects for future generations.

What a crew! What a task! What a legacy! For more details, click here:
