Booktopia

Some local libraries and seminary libraries have back issues of items such as Gnosis magazine and other such.

Medical libaries, especially their history collections

Back Issues of Yoga Journal and Rolling Stone
Garage Sales

Jumble and Tag and 'garage' sales by groups and churches with diverse, well read congregations

Thrift markets and stores, especially the ones that collect old magazines.

Books stores lost in a time warp where owners dont dust and forget what they have on the shelves. Great good fun if you aint allergic to dust.

Advertising strategies and revisions of history can be tracked if one studies the marginal ad space purchased in Tricycle magazine and other things like it.

Now..tell us your fave research resources and items.

But dont give too much away--we dont want our best fishing ponds taken away.

PS If you want to give someone a gift that is calorie free and sure to elicit interest, a few back issues of Life or Rolling Stone can really hit the sweet spot.

Keep those resource lists coming.

And ISCA is great. Good papers on their websites and someone PMd that their conferances are worth going to. Papers are submitted and discussed, and its a good way to get out of isolation and share what you have observed with others.

In some cities there are free local newspapers, and these can have in depth articles by journalists who have ties to the area covered by the paper.

The Stranger--Seattle

Village Voice--New York

Pacific Sun -- Marin County

East Bay Express--( Northern California in Alameda and Contra Costa County)

Some of these have back issues that are not included in the online archive.

Spending time in local libraries with the microfilm spools can be rewarding.

The Village Voice (NYC) is an excellent resource. They're not afraid to spill the beans.

Village Voice has been great on Scientology.

Online Google has been my best resource (along with ISCA, American Buddhist, and this Forum).

Amazon (for searching, sometimes for purchasing)
