"Whenever
a society or civilization perishes there is always
one condition present; they forgot where
they came from."
--- Carl Sandburg
"Like any other A.A. service,
the primary purpose of those involved in archival work is to carry the message
of Alcoholics Anonymous. Archives service work is more than mere custodial
activity; it is the means by which we collect, preserve and share the rich
and meaningful heritage of our Fellowship. It is by the collection and
sharing of these important historical elements that our collective gratitude
for Alcoholics Anonymous is deepened."

Annual Events: |
Open
House: Held in March to mark the anniversary of moving in the
repository in Colton. It was created to bring attention to the
Archives and give past Delegates an opportunity to share about their
past service commitment.
Heritage Day: Held in October and is designed for a panel of Old
timers to sharing what AA was like when they got sober and how
Service helped to keep them sober.
Membership: The Archives Committee is made up of both members of the
area assembly and members who just want to help preserve our
history. There is no requirement to join our committee other than a
reasonable amount of sobriety and a desire to learn and preserve
AA's history.
Projects:
The Archives Committee is currently involved with
gathering of Group Histories throughout Southern California. Once
the histories are gathered, hopes are to somehow publish them in
some sort of booklet. |
