The Public Relations Committee has a special project planned for the
Philadelphia annual meeting. We are inviting all AALL Committees, SISs,
Chapters, and the Executive Board to prepare time capsules which we will
then store for twenty-five years. If you are a member of one of these
groups, we hope you'll encourage your Chair or President and your other
members to participate.
You can help define our time and also be a unique part of law
librarianship's past and future. Our committee will supply the time
capsules, and this will be your opportunity to offer a glimpse of AALL's
past to our future selves and colleagues.
During this summer's Philadelphia meeting the time capsules will be sealed
and tucked away for twenty-five years at AALL archives. As the profession
which preserves the record of our past for future generations, it's only
fitting that we, too, preserve a bit of our own law library history.
The objects you choose to encapsulate can run the gamut from the profound
and serious to the weird, silly and sentimental. It's up to you. We'll
have more details on preparing your time capsules in the coming months, but
the Public Relations Committee hopes you and your Chapter, Committee, or
SIS will start thinking now about what items you want included in your time
capsule.
Twenty-five years isn't that long. Look how fast the millennium went
by! In July, 2025 we hope we'll all still be around (it doesn't hurt to be
optimistic) to attend the annual AALL meeting and watch as our time
capsules are opened. Stay tuned for later announcements on how you can
become a permanent part of AALL's history.
