Archives Committee
Whenever a society or civilization perishes, there is always one condition present; they forgot where they came from.
- Carl Sandberg
Like any other A.A. service, the primary purpose of those involved in archival service is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous. Archives service 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 collection and sharing of these important historical elements that our collective gratitude for Alcoholics Anonymous is deepened.
A.A. members have a responsibility to gather and care for the Fellowship's historical documents and memorabilia. Correspondence, records, minutes, reports, photographs, newspaper and magazine articles from the past and present should be collected, preserved, and made available for the guidance and research of A.A. members and others (researchers, historians, and scholars from various disciplines) - for now and generations to come.
