In its 50-plus year history, the Institute has developed a rich collection of past publications. Some of these publications have been scanned and are available electronically (check out the attached list--if there's a link, the publication is available for personal use).
The Institute is willing to scan additional publications and make them available for a one-time $40 flat per-publication fee that helps defray a portion of the Institute's labor costs in scanning and making its older publications available electronically.Read more »
