The presently active AES Historical Committee projects [as numbered in our Guidelines] are as follows:
5 [Organize and maintain an archive relating to the history of the Audio Engineering Society itself.]
8 [Encourage each Local Section and each Convention Committee to organize an appropriate session on the history of audio engineering, or a display on an appropriate historical subject. When requested, provide information to help them to do so.]
9 [Create and operate two AES HC email reflectors: a Steering Committee Reflector for discussions of purely administrative matters of the Committee; and a general Historical Reflector for discussions of actual historical matters.]
10 [Create an AES HC web site on which to publish the information compiled in the following sections.]
11 [Create a directory of museums, libraries, archives, and private collections that contain historic audio equipment or documents about the history of audio engineering.]
12 [Devise a catalog for classifying the inventions and developments made in audio engineering, based on the work of HK Thiele.]
13 [Record oral histories (sound only, sound with video, and/or sound with still photographs) of important figures in the history of audio engineering.]
