During the course of one’s research, historians invariably gather hard to find documents and publications that are either very difficult to review or not available through an ILL request. In an effort to facilitate research into the history of Guiding/Scouting, we are offering the use of this web site to make such documents available to the wider community of historians. If you have a document that you would like to make available on-line, please contact us.
