The Responsibility of the Trusted Archives
Chairperson. |
|
There are many Priceless items in your Area 64
Archives. |
|
Should we entrust our Past with just any well
intentioned AA? |
|
Who is Responsible |
|
I’m DRY Let Me Help |
|
|
|
|
This is to allow the Fellowship to Realize and
Understand the importance of Securing and limiting access to Area 64
Archives without the Properly Trained Chairperson. |
|
A Large portion of the Archives are
Irreplaceable. |
|
There are many reasons for Trained Person’s who
are Responsible not just Sober |
|
|
|
|
Lets get some Volunteers to help us with Area 64
Archives |
|
Saturday morning,Six people show up with really
good intentions. |
|
1:Lost box of Tee Shirts, everybody help us find
them. |
|
2:Lady goes thru every drawer to no avail. She
gets hot so she turns down the Air Conditioning, opens the door. |
|
|
|
|
3:Oh Wow!! This is really neat. “Look it’s a
First Edition Big Book signed by Bill Wilson. |
|
4:Picks book up and drops it tearing the front
cover. Oh My God I’m So Sorry. |
|
5:To Hell with Not Smoking, I’m Sober and a
little smoke isn’t going to hurt anything in this Archives Building. |
|
6:Mr. Chairperson, I noticed the very rare
recordings from the early days of AA, Do you mind if I borrow them and
record them at my home? |
|
I know and Trust you Yes you can. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Volunteer takes Recordings and is right in the
middle of Recording when he has a severe Heart Attack and dies. |
|
Meanwhile Chairperson gets Drunk and no longer
associates himself with AA. |
|
What happens to the Priceless Recordings? AA’s
Loss |
|
|
|
|
All of this is Hypothetical but very possible.

|
What kind of Guidelines should we use to Protect
Area 64 Archives? |
|
Who should be Responsible to keep well meaning
AA’s from rummaging thru Precious Documents and Books. Etc. |
|
|
|
|
It is important to keep the Archives at a
certain Temperature as well as control the Humidity and Sunlight,
Florescent Lights. Etc. |
|
Releasing any materials from the Archives should
be out on Loan with documents providing information that will help to
insure it’s return. |
|
|
|
|
Any Precious Books or Documents should be under
Lock & Key, not readily available to handle by any well intentioned AA. |
|
Thermostat should be controlled only by those
who understand the importance of keeping the environment at a controlled
temperature. |
|
Door Open Means Dust |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don’t know do you? Maybe the Chairperson
knows. |
|
Well the Last Chairperson has gone to the Big
meeting in the Sky. |
|
The New Chairperson will have to re-invent the
Wheel. |
|
My Point is This, It is essential that we keep
Proper records of our Contents at Area 64 Archives. |
|
How and when can this be Done? |
