[Oe List ...] July 26-August 3, 2021 – Second Archive Report

[Isobel and Jim]

Good morning ( here )! Karen,
Thank you for your update on the work of your team of Archivists. It is so wonderful to hear of your careful construction of the legacy for safe keeping of the years of expenditure, as it was written down. 
Thank you all from me personally, and I feel sure, from all your global colleagues. 
I have made an attempt to write a ‘report’ about the Singapore  ITI. At the moment Dharma is finalising the work with his additions and corrections. When he has completed this task he will send it directly to you in Chicago. 
Thank you for being there Karen,
With love and blessings on your life,
Isobel Bishop

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.
