[Oe List ...] ICA Global Archives - Help with Critical Document Digitization

[Beret Griffith via OE]

Digitization of Critical Documents

2016 Archive Fall Sojourn September 12-16

There are 20,000 documents in the ICA Global Archives. 2000 documents have
been digitized. The Archives Document Digitization Team has developed a
plan to scan and digitize the most important documents within the FileMaker
Pro database of 20,000 entries. A major portion of the digitizing will go
on at the ICA GreenRise during the fall sojourn.

Here is where you come in.

[image: ]We are asking colleagues to determine categories in the Category
List with which they are most familiar. Attached is the ICA Global Archives
Category List (the main categories of everything in the archives that has
been accessioned - meaning we know what it is and where it is located in
the archives).

Note which portions of the Archives Category List where you have the most
knowledge and experience.

Next step....you WILL BE SENT AN ELECTRONIC COPY of FileMaker Pro database
listing all items that have been put in archival folders. Items in the
database are in the same order as the Category List making it easy to
quickly scan the database.

There is a column for your name and to indicate high, medium, or low
priority for scanning.

1. Go to the section of the database where you will select documents.

2. In the space provided, indicate high, medium, or low priority for
scanning.

3. Send your completed list to beretgriffith at gmail.com

Colleagues on site at the GreenRise will: pull documents from the files;
scan the documents; return the documents to the drawer.

And there you have it! A corporate contribution to a huge, seemingly
impossible task. Please reply to this message indicating your willingness
to participate in this major project and Wendell Refior will send you a
copy of the FileMaker Pro Database for your input. You put your lives into
the work of The Ecumenical Institute and Institute of Cultural Affairs and
it will be  made available to the world via a website that draws people to
the information.

Thank you from the ICA Global Archives Advisory Council
