Source Archive: Where The Reich Records Are
A public Reich archive needs a map before it needs a theory. This page lists the repositories that anchor the site and explains what each one can and cannot answer.

Repository Roles
Library of Congress is the primary path for early correspondence, writings, notes, programs, and photographs. BPSI is compact but important for psychoanalytic context, FDA complaint material, Orgone Legal Fund correspondence, and serial holdings. NLM is critical for Aurora Karrer Reich materials, litigation records, books, serials, and Orgone Institute publications.
WRM is the rights-holder and museum path for official publication access and archive history. UF provides the Sol Kramer Papers, including Orgone Institute course notes. GovInfo provides federal annual-report context. Court reporters and legal databases provide appellate opinions.
Download And Rights Policy
The archive downloads official finding aids, public-domain legal records, government records, and repository pages when access permits. It does not mirror copyrighted books or paid WRM PDFs without permission or purchase approval.
When a source is blocked by Cloudflare, ModSecurity, rights restrictions, or paywalls, the site logs that condition and links to the official access path rather than substituting a dubious third-party mirror.
How To Cite Records
For collection-level claims, cite the finding aid. For a specific Orgone Energy Bulletin location, cite the NLM item record. For the legal sequence, cite Reich v. United States and Baker v. United States. For rights-holder publications, cite WRM product or research pages.
