Bapak, Tuti, and Pak Usman at Table Mountain in Cape Town,
South Africa. Taken by Konrad Baerveldt in 1970 when Bapak
was on his 8th World Journey. Part of the Baerveldt Photo
Collection in the WSA Archives
In 1976 Bapak advised us in a letter to
international officers and helpers, and all Subud
National Committees throughout the world that
it was one of our duties and responsibilities “to
arrange for the preservation of archives and
historical material relating to the development of
the Spiritual Brotherhood of Subud.” We haven’t
fully accomplished that but we are on the way.
An archive By-law, the WSA Archives Charter,
and a Subud Archives database and website will
be ready for the World Congress this summer so
members will be able to see and understand what
we have in our collections. Someday we hope
to have archive facilities around the world where
Subud members (now and in the future) can
learn more about the history and development of
Subud.
If you would like to work, volunteer, donate
material, or learn how to be an archivist locally,
nationally, or internationally, please contact your
nearest archives for information or daniela_
wsaarchives@subud.org. If you would like to
donate funds to carry on the work of the archives,
