The presence of ALLUNY tradition is strong at any ALLUNY function, from intangibles
like obvious friendships and working partnerships, to the very tangible canned loon.
ALLUNY's professional accomplishments and personal stories are easily recalled and
retold by longstanding members, enriching the topic or workshop session at hand.
There are inevitable events in the storyteller's life, however, that make complete
reliance on oral history a liability: members must pursue professional or economic
development in distant locales, or they pass away. Without these storytellers, a blue
and gold banner is mute testimony to the past.    Thanks to documentation in
newsletters and meeting minutes minutia, and the preservation of these in the ALLUNY
Archives, we know that ALLUNY and LLAGNY invested in and designed ...a 5 x 8
blue banner with gold lettering for AALL to display at the national meeting, which 
may have been AALL's first banner (Weiter,2004).
Countless ALLUNY members with the foresight to preserve the Association's past have
contributed to the ALLUNY Archives since its inception. Some organizations might
have cause to worry, since a lack of organization and weeding can turn an informative
resource into a mute mass discouraging the even most dedicated researcher - but an
excellent team has formed to prevent this from happening with the ALLUNY
Archives: Judy Lauer, Cyndi Trembly, Cindy Kesler, Joan Hoolihan, and Robert
Cunningham. They have a daunting task before them, including selection and weeding of
some items, and then arranging what is
left into a logical hierarchy indexed by
a finding aid (makes research much
easier). Each of these members has
