[Oe List ...] ICA Global Archive Spring 2016 Sojourn News

[Steve Ediger via OE]

Hello,

Here is more information about our Spring Sojourn, including a timeline
(attached).
This Sojourn marks a critical turn for the Global Archives. On one hand, we are
losing people that have gone on, like Gordon Harper and Steve Harrington. On the
other hand, we have made progress in developing a web-based presence, gaining
the attention of professional archivists, and incorporating interns into the
archival process. We are truly “ creating the future in the middle of nowhere or out between the “no longer” and
the “not yet,” and inviting others to follow”.*

In finalizing our planning for the Spring Sojourn, today, we had a great
conversation with Bruce Williams, who will be facilitating our, Action Planning
Workshop on Tuesday. He is excited to be leading us through this deliberation of
our actions in the next year. These results will inform additional work on
Wednesday and Thursday. Then on Friday, we'll take these results to the Board of
Directors. Again we are in the crux as, under the new leadership of Ted Wysocki,
is undertaking their own Strategic Planning. After delivering our Action Plan,
we will have a chance to offer input into this planning process.

We are looking forward to a positive direction forward for ICA and the Global
Archives.
