Western nudist research library

The Naturist Society has a large research library, and there is an effort in Anchorage, Alaska to gather information and put together a library collection. The mission of the WNRL is to preserve the history of social nudism. However, the same is not true about an accurate history of organized social nudism. Visiting researchers, scholars and students of nudist history are welcome to contact the Library by phone, Email anrl anrl. The Research and Education Committee of AANR is also involved in this effort and is seeking the involvement of all interested nudists and researchers. Any library, physical or online, is going to have many resources to tap into.

Anyone can write anything and post it to the internet. Still remaining are nudist-related books and folders of newsletters and materials relating to more than nudist clubs, some no longer in existence. Materials have been donated from a variety of sources, and the Library is literally brimming with items that are now catalogued and on display. However, the same is not true about an accurate history of organized social nudism. For each hour of scanning, an addition four hours of post-processing work is required to convert the scans to PDFs.
