Whenever a Society or a Civilization perishes,
there is always one factor present:
They forgot where they came from.

Why are archives important to you?
As one A.A. member said, “When I saw the archives display at the area assembly, I had no idea what it was all about. But after looking at the materials, I had a feeling of “what we used to be like.” I realized that I could help by donating some time at the archives office and later taped two oldtimers who told me a lot about the early days in our area. It has made me read some of the other A.A. books I had missed and has given me a real sense of “carrying the message.”
