International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals
IAPSOP was formed in late 2009, when it became apparent to IAPSOP's founders that (a) the repository libraries traditionally expected to retain Spiritualist and occult periodicals were in many cases removing these from circulation, or from their collections entirely; (b) that independent students and researchers were in some cases duplicating effort and expense to have materials preserved digitally, largely for their private use; and (c) that digital libraries like Google Books were completely indifferent to the special curatorial problems of periodical literature generally, and occult literature in particular. |
Auditor, The.
The Saint Hill Journal of the Auditors Division / The Journal of Scientology.
1964 Irregular, monthly
East Grinstead, Essex, England, then Los Angeles, CA. Publisher: Church of Scientology, Saint Hill Foundation/HCO World Wide/Hubbard College of Scientology/Church of Scientology of California.
Editor: L. Ron Hubbard; Fred Hare; Judy Ziff; Tina Hawkins.
1/1, 1964-current. 4-12 pp. (varies widely). Free with membership.
Although originally intended for auditors in Scientology, the journal documented the growth and development of the movement, during and after the period of Hubbard's sojourn at Saint Hill in East Grinstead (1959-1966), beginning in 1964. It encouraged members to send news to the journal: "If it isn't in 'The Auditor' it didn't happen." It regularly listed the Scientology centers around the world and beginning in 1967 it listed the number and names of "clears" in the movement at the time of publication. The journal featured, in addition to articles by Hubbard and others and current news and events, extensive advertisements for his books, e-meters, power processing, car badges, Dianetics record album, study tapes, special briefing courses, discounted trial memberships, etc. Most issues, as with other Scientology publications, are not explicitly dated or otherwise serialized. BL; Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire, Strasbourg; University of Kansas.
Significant portions of this run of The Auditor were made possible by a donation from a first-generation Scientologist -- to whom, thanks.
