Have you ever wondered what happened to all those
research files and documents IALA must have put
together between 1924 and 1951, I know I have!
I've even sent messages to Interlng with requests
for some references or sources of such documents.

Or whatever happend with Martinet after he left IALA
and where is he today?

Well! Here's good news! The following news breaker,
written in IALA Interlingua talks about such newsworthy
questions.. :-)

[if you really can't make heads or tails of the info let
me know and I'll try to send you some of it in English]

Regards,
Jay B.





Trovata sensational de archivos de IALA

Esterhill. Le 28 de octobre ille visitava Alison Bertsche e su
sposo Bill in Croton-on Hudson, un citate a 80 km nord de New
York. Alison Bertsche esseva vidua post dr. Alexander Gode, le
ultime director de recercas de IALA, e illa es
secretario-tresorero del Interlingua Institute. In un parve
magazin sur le area per Gode appellate "le tumba de Aida" Frank
Esterhill discoperiva duo mobiles classificator con octo
tiratorios e 90 kilos de material historic invalutabile. Isto
sembla esser le archivo integre de IALA ab 1924 usque al fin. Un

insectos, mucor etc., ma le resto ha supervivite continente
documentation de plus que un quarto de seculo. Le archivos ha
essite cercate durante plus que 20 annos. Frank Esterhill ora
comencia le enor me labor de catalogisar tote le trovata ante

Library, que in avantia possede multe materiales valorose de
interlingua. Inter le documentos es le reportos annual, agendas
pro le assembleas in le Comit‚ de Concordantia e correspondentia
ab multe, multe individuos qui esseva active in le dies precoce
de IALA.
Le trovata sensational esseva facite in tempore. Justo Frank
Esterhill es involvite con Jesper Olsson ab Svedia e le redactor
de Panorama in le colliger escriber del historia de interlingua
que habera 50 annos in 2001. Simultaneemente con le trovata, le
Union Interlinguista de Francia ha finalmente succedite traciar
le penultime director de recercas de IALA, professor André
Martinet ab le Universitate de Sorbonne in Paris. In le fin de
octobre, tres consilieros del UIF visitava le professor in su
casa e le interviewava durante tres horas super su labor presso
IALA. André Martinet mantene un bon memoria, malgrado su alte
etate, e ha assi contribuite con multe observationes
interessante. Le registrationes sur cassetta es al puncto de
esser transcribite. Postea on va rediger los pro un articulo in
Panorama.
