'''Proposal: The Society should organized interdisciplinary projects, and some discipline-specific projects, as [[Study Groups]] without attachment to a specific topical department, rather than as [[Committees]].'''
==Active Study Groups==
===[[Descents from Antiquity]]===
'''Proposal: The Society should oblige the [[First Peoples Study Group]] to create a statement of purpose.'''
===[[Photo Collection Study Group]]===
The objective of this project is to identify the individuals and locations shown in the Society's collection of photographic prints. The plan is to scan and upload the images to a public site, then ask members to assist in the identification. There is some sense of urgency in this, as members pass and memory fade.
'''Proposal: The Society should work to identify the individuals and locations (and to the extent possible, the dates) of the prints in the Society's photo collection.'''
