ICA ARCHIVES GO DIGITAL

ICA Global Archives Team works to recover, organize, digitize, and reimagine more than 50 years of work by the Institute of Cultural Affairs and Ecumenical Institute. This vital work is made possible by the incredible volunteer commitment of ICA colleagues across the world.

Twice a year, in the spring and fall, colleagues are invited to converge at the ICA GreenRise in Chicago for a week of reconnection, sharing approaches that work, and work to bring the wisdom of the organization to the challenges of the current day.

Colleagues convened for the Spring 2018 Sojourn at the ICA GreenRise from Sunday, April 22nd through Saturday, April 28th. 

The week of work focused on six major areas:  

     1) Global Archives website 
     2) Imaginal Education 
     3) Social Process 
     4) Other World 
     5) Sifting through the basement
     6) Organizing digital storage space

The three content area working groups—Imaginal Education, Social Process, and Other World—provided recommendations that informed the structure of the new Global Archives website. The website, basement, and AV/archive space teams all made progress on effectively processing and storing​ ​wealth of information available to them. More complete reports, including video, can be found on the Global Archives website.

All are invited to attend the Fall 2018 Sojourn at the ICA GreenRise from Sunday, October 21st through Saturday, October 27th. For more information, please reach out to Jean Long, a member of the Archives team, at jean.long512@gmail.com.
