About the Commitees

Archives

The primary purpose of those involved in archival work is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous. The Archives Committee performs more than mere custodial activity; it is the means by which we collect, preserve and share the rich and meaningful heritage of our Fellowship. We receive, process, and store archival materials in the District 5 Repository, and make these materials available to members and others who might need to learn from our history. Such archives include, but are not limited to, administrative files, records, correspondence, recordings, literary works and artifacts considered important to our local Fellowship.
