Mission Statement

Pursuant to AA's primary purpose of maintaining our sobriety and helping other Alcoholics to achieve sobriety, the archives of Alcoholics Anonymous adopts the following mission statement: “To receive, classify and index all related material, including but not limited to administrative files, records, correspondence, literary, and artifactual works considered to have historical import to Alcoholics Anonymous. To hold and preserve such material, making access possible, as determined by the present archivist in consultation with the archives committee, to members of Alcoholics Anonymous and those of the public who may have a valid need to review said material, such access to be provided only during business hours and with a mindful view toward the anonymity of our members.”

The BC/Yukon Archives Repository is located at 3457 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC. It is open to AA members on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Our archivist is Dominic. The archives chair [archives@bcyukonaa.org] will forward any email to Dominic.
