American Haiku Archives Advisory Board

A formal advisory board supports the American Haiku Archives by actively seeking donations of haiku-related books and papers. The advisory board also selects the honorary curator on an annual basis, provides ongoing advice to the California State Library regarding its haiku materials, helps to stage occasional haiku-related events at the library, prepares occasional publicity, and otherwise supports and promotes the American Haiku Archives.
