OUR MISSION

Our mission is to document, secure, and preserve historical evidence of Alcoholics Anonymous within Area 26, past or present, and to make those items accessible through visits to the Repository or displays at Area meetings, conventions, and workshops.

OUR PURPOSE

  • Receive and preserve tangible items of historical importance to Area 26. These items may include but are not limited to books, pamphlets, newsletters, written/oral histories, photographs, and recordings.
  • Provide availability to our collection by scheduling an open house, an appointment, or through a special event at the Repository.
  • Serve as a resource for Area 26 members conducting research.
