American theological library association

See Record Group 163 for the earlier history of the American Theological Library Association. In 1990 ATLA was reorganized so that the Index Board and Preservation Board were placed directly under the Board of Directors. In 1991 Albert Hurd was appointed chief executive officer of ATLA. This restructuring made Executive Director responsible for all staff appointments, with the Board of Directors now construed as a policy making body that vested management of the Association in the Executive Director and his/her staff. In 1993 a three-year Association of Theological Schools Quality and Accreditation Project was launched. In 1996 Dennis Norlin was appointed Executive Director of ATLA. In 1996 ATLA acquired an underground vault at Iron Mountain/NUS in Western Pennsylvania for the long-term storage of microfilm masters. Scholarly Resources, Inc. was hired to market and distribute microfilm to libraries for scholarly use. In 1999 the final annual volume of the Index to Book Reviews in Religion (IBRR) was published in print form as the index transitioned to an online only format. In 2000 ATLA moved from Evanston, IL to new headquarters at 250 S. Wacker Drive, Chicago. In 2006 ATLA headquarters moved across the street to 300 S. Wacker Drive.
