ARCADIAN BOOK
MORE ARC MEMORIES – Volume 2
Published February 2009 Expected to be on sale in March 2009

The publication, distribution and sales of the Arc Centenary Book 100 Years of Arc Memories has been a catalyst, enabling many Old Arcadians and their families to ‘come out’ as it were, and to be proud they were from Arcadia, and to make contact with their fellow Arcadians. I now sense that for many “Coming from Arcadia” is now a badge to be shown off with pride and that the sense of shame in being an orphanage child has somewhat dissipated. This is very much like Australians, who in previous generations hid the fact that their forebears came out from England as convicts and who are now proud to show this in their family trees.

This book contains Arc Memories that have poured in from Old Arcs and their descendants following the publication of the Arcadia Centenary Book 100 Years of Arc Memories in 2006. Like the first book, this sequel records the memories of the children of Arcadia (Arcs) and the history of Arcadia (the Arc).
