In 2006, Bryan made 2 trips to the National Archives near Washington, DC. These were historic journeys in that it appears he was the first person in many, many years to look inside what the TWI founders left for us. He found a treasure trove of historical information contained within the 100+ boxes of materials. Bryan's finds are posted here in their entirety for the benefit of the TWI community.

Bryan only scratched the surface! If anyone is interested in another trip to the Archives, please drop us a line at the link below.
