The Archivist will be responsible for using historical documents to make presentations, allow OIAA members access to the documents and to seek out more documents and oral histories, when possible.

The committee discussed the video, “The Role of the IGR” suggestions for edits were made. Randy, Co-Chair of Video production, made the changes. The video will go to the Board for approval. When approved the video will be posted on the OIAA You tube channel. Currently posted there are the “What is OIAA” and “The Steppers” videos.
