They uncovered files for scanning: revisiting Uptown Chicago community work, six projects in Latin America, India - and other subjects here and there. The Archives is indebted to Ed Feldmanis for his commitment to scan the files into PDFs (scanning approximately 12 hours a week). After files are scanned, Wendell Refior turns the PDFs into links for adding to the Archives website. Alan Gammel and myself then add the links to the website - although we are ‘a bit’ behind at the moment. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A recently scanned treasure are the 15 spirit talks that were done at the 1981 Global Council. Were you there? The DETECTIVE WORK at this point is:</div><div class="">1. to identify the messengers giving these talks. At that time names were not added to the talks to identify the speakers. It would be great to reveal who they were. </div><div class="">2. Even to make a list of the people who were giving talks that summer would be special without knowing which ones they gave. </div><div class="">3.
