This is a collaboratively edited wishlist of texts that various people would like to see archived on this website someday. That way the texts can be easily found, quoted and printed out as pamphlets, etc.

So, feel free to add to this list by editing the page directly, or by mentioning a text you’d like to see archived in the live chat spaces and some wonderful person may get around to finding and adding the text. Also, whilst you wait, you could be that wonderful person for someone else.

Available online

Photo Scans

Interesting essays can be extracted from old journals, or a journal issue can be archived in it's entirety.

The best software for converting photoscans into searchable text is ABBYY Finereader:

It doesn't use AI to presume how the word is spelt based on context, it's just a tool for boosting the resolution of the photoscan and identifying what letters are on the page. For helping with accurately typing up out of print texts.
