Since the beginning, Peace Corps has provided technical information from all sources to Volunteers in the field. Sometimes this service was provided within the Publication and Information Center or PIC, sometimes within the Peace Corps Library. In 1975, this function was formalized as the Information Collection and Exchange or ICE. One of the major tasks of the new staff was to solicit Volunteer participation and (re)gain their support in technical information exchange, according to an internal memo. Materials created by PCVs were gathered and included in the collection.
