Global ConnectionsMeher Baba visited many countries and cities around the world and left various treasures in his wake in the form of books, letters, films, and messages both obvious and hidden. In this digital age, we intend to connect the different Baba archives so the words and stories of the Avatar might be perserved and shared for many generations to come.

SURVEY
In the interest of identifying the total scope of work to properly preserve the history of Meher Baba’s life ministry, we are reaching out to the Baba World at large to find out 1. What archival materials exist in total and 2. Who needs help in preserving the physical and digital items? Present and future researchers and historians don’t know what questions to ask if they don’t know collections exist. Sometimes the minute details of how Baba directed his lovers to action, to form centers, to talk to others in His name (or not) provide us with a unique depth of knowledge that even Meher Baba took some pains to make sure were preserved for “the record”.
Please take a moment to fill out this confidential survey so the ever-growing team of archival volunteers can prioritize preserving Baba’s legacy into the permanent record.
