I've realized that good information just isn't being preserved enough. Their organization, for example, doesn't seem to exist anymore. But in this era of changing society's mind about psychedelics, advocates are going to need reference material. So, if, for example, someone is making a video about psychedelics, they might want to mention these researchers, and because of my above post, they can include their positive faces, thus improving their video.
There is surprisingly good content that just gets neglected, and my recent posts have focused on keeping it alive. Examples:
LSD chromosome damage myth
Includes downloads to archive footage propagating this myth and arguments from researchers, including Teri Krebs.
Nick Sand and Tim Scully, LSD chemists of the 60s, comment about LSD purity
Includes transcripts of comments about the value of especially pure LSD from two LSD chemists, an often-discussed topic on forums, usually with no substance to the discussions. The audio recordings were posted over a decade ago, so why did I have to be the one to transcribe them now?
Harvard In the Sky With Diamonds
Article from The Harvard Independent that is now only on The Internet Archive and this site and The Shroomery.
60s footage of child and teenaged girls talking about the effects of LSD
Self-explanatory
These articles are good reads for anyone interested in the preservation of our knowledge:
