Overview
The original mission statement of the organization was developed shortly thereafter and stated: \"The purpose of the Association is to encourage the study and better understanding of early American industry, in the home, in the shop, on the farm and on the sea, and especially to discover, identify, classify, preserve, and exhibit obsolete tools, implements, utensils, instruments, vehicles, appliances, and mechanical devices used by American craftsmen farmers, housewives, mariners, professional men, and other workers.\" rSee sidebar, \"The EAIA: Membership in EAIA did grow during these years, but in 1967 a decision was made by the Board of Directors to create three classes of membership: active membership, which entitled the member to a subscription to The Chronicle and the privilege of attending meetings; associate membership entitled the member to a subscription to The Chronicle and an opportunity to become an active member when an opening occurred; and subscription membership, which entitled the member to a subscription to The Chronicle. THE PURPOSE of the Association is to encourage the study of and better understanding of early American industries in the home, in the shop, on the farm, and on the sea and especially to discover, identify, classify, preserve and exhibit obsolete tools, implements and mechanical devices used by American craftsmen, farmers, housewives, mariners, professional men and other workers. A reaffirmation of the original goals was included with the further intention to dedicate itself to the education of its members and others interested in early tools. [...]in 1968 a slightly changed version of the statement of purpose first appeared (The Chronicle 21, no. 1).
