> Dear ICA Archive Stakeholders,
> 
> Although I have been quite busy in my first two weeks on the job as the new
> Interim Executive Director of the ICA, the status of the archives has never
> been far from my mind.
> 
> After discussions with many of you, the Board of Directors, and hearing the
> ³buzz² throughout the world about the status of the extraordinary number of
> documents housed in the basement of 4750 N. Sheridan, it is abundantly clear
> to me the importance of these resources.  Clearly, the accumulation of written
> documents, taped interviews and historical records reflects 40 years of
> efforts and passion of hundreds of men, women and families, work that has
> affected thousands of lives in countries, towns and villages throughout the
> world.  Additionally, beyond the seen and unseen historical impact of the
> ICA¹s trans-global work, these resources no doubt contain many important clues
> to the directions we will be taking in the near future. 
> 
>  For the reasons of honoring this organization¹s tremendous past and for
> (invigorating/creating/unearthing) new and exciting dimensions implied in the
> ICA¹s historic work, I want to assure you personally that I and the Board are
> dedicated to preserving the treasures within the Archives of the Institute of
> Cultural Affairs.
> 
> 
> Thank you,
