Colleagues and Board Members,<br class="" style="">
<br class="" style="">
You are invited to participate in the Global Archives Research Assembly,
September 20-27 2014. The ICA organizations (board, staff and associates) and
the global network of colleagues are the number one audience for which this
event is being held. We want you to be able to use the historical work of the
first 50 years of the ICA for your own benefit, growth and effectiveness. We
also want to enable you to find, download or request material scanned and add
your work to the Global Archives so that it can be available to other ICA’s and
interested parties. The GARA will be an opportunity for you and others to learn
how to do this with “hands-on’ guidance.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';" class=""> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';" class=""><br class="" style="">
<br class="" style="">
We also see the GARA as an opportunity for people from multiple locations to
work together in doing some action research. We have found that a group of
people, working in pairs can do very creative work. Then coming together for
sharing and deciding next steps allows work to continue without any central
control. This too will be enabled by our able Tech Team support.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';" class=""> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';" class=""><br class="" style="">
<br class="" style="">
We would also like you to invite others who are working with you to join a
research team of your interest, either an existing one, or a new one of your
choice. Currently we have four active research teams, but expect more. You can
see current Research Collections and follow their work through the following
web page:</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';" class=""> <o:p class="" style=""></o:p></span></div><div class="" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';" class=""><br class="" style="">

It is our hope that work will continue past the GARA dates and will be
self-directed. Please join us in this exciting new research direction! We would
love 100% participation from all the ICA’s. This is for you!<br class="" style="">

Additional sites like one dedicated to the GARA will be added as they are
created.<br class="" style="">
