[Dialogue] town meeting quote

Thu Nov 3 03:43:51 EDT 2011

We   - who are interested in the Institutes' archives -  are so delighted
that we have available copies of posters such as this one that Paul has
sent.  We are spending many hours recording and making available posters,
photos, etc. etc. and hopefully can answer your requests.  You can reach
the archives on the ICA-USA web site.  (And we appreciate donations to
increase our success in Archiving our past for the sake of the future.
Grace and Peace, Marge Philbrook, for the Archive Advisory Committee
