Dear fellow linguists,

As you all (hopefully) know, the University of Michigan will host the 
2013 LSA Institute (http://lsa2013.lsa.umich.edu/). 

As we prepare for this wonderful event, we started wondering about 
the value that these Institutes have for the Linguistics community as a 
whole, and for individual linguists. And what better way to visualize this 
value than through photographs and pictures that were taken at 
previous Institutes? We have seen some wonderful pictures taken at 
lectures and at social events at previous Institutes. These pictures 
really exemplify what an Institute is all about -- both intellectual 
stimulation and socializing. 

We would like to collect as many photographs and pictures from 
previous Institutes as possible. It doesn't matter whether it is of the 
2011 Colorado Institute or an Institute from the 1950's. Any and all 
photos will be appreciated. However, we are particularly interested in 
images from the pre-internet era Institutes -- since there is virtually no 
pictorial record of these events.

So, if you have ever been to an Institute and if you have pictures lying 
around in a drawer or sitting somewhere on a harddrive, please send 
those to us. We will create a place where these can all reside on the 
Web. It could become a wonderful pictorial record of the history of the 
Institute, and of Linguistics. 

Please go through your drawers and find these pictures, scan them 
and e-mail to us. Or of they are already electronic, just e-mail them. 
The more information you can supply the better. We would minimally 
need to know which Institute the picture was taken at. But more 
information, such as who is in the picture, the occasion at which it was 
taken, etc. would also help.

Please send images to: llsa.institute.pics at umich.edu.

And feel free to contact Andries Coetzee with any questions 
(coetzee at umich.edu)
