Colleagues,
Major work is being done on the Global Archives at the ICA in Chicago in the last two weeks of July. We are focused on the Archives goal of “CREATING THE FUTURE OF OUR PAST”.
This first week we (Ed Feldmanis, Laura Grover, Debra Harris, Karen Snyder) engaged in sorting and scanning Archives for the website so it is available to the world. Our accomplishments include:
* Emptying 30 file cabinet drawers in the basement
* Preparing Global Odyssey materials, the Ur Images course and Religious Studies I (RSI) course for scanning and adding to the website. We were surprised to find RSI course material in five languages (English, French, German, Korean, Spanish).
Our goal for the second week is to post on the website the Religious, Cultural and Methods course materials from the 1960s that informed the curriculum for Academies, International Training Institutes, Human Development Training Schools, and ToP. The Global Archives opening pages can be read in any language; embedded files can be copied to a Google doc for translation.
We can use your help in a number of ways:
* Did you participate in one of the seven Global Odysseys in the 1970s? If you are willing to share your notes about experiences and photos, scan and email them as soon as possible. Or box and mail them to the attention of the Global Archives at ICA (4750 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago 60640).
* Tell us what should be the next priorities volunteers should work on after we complete the curriculum. And always it is helpful to know what is helpful/needs help as you view the website.
* As information is added to the website, there is much contextual writing needed to make the info more understandable (and interesting) as well as editing. If you are willing to work with any of the nine collections to do editing and writing, email Karen Snyder (karen.snyder10@gmail.com).
We look forward to hearing from you,
Ed Feldmanis, Laura Grover, Debra Harris, Karen Snyder
