FAQ
Can I download copyrighted Reich books here?
No. Rights-limited publications are shown as official access paths, usually through WRM or institutional holdings.
Why include blocked or fragile records?
Blocked records are useful provenance: they tell researchers where a claimed document was sought and what still needs clean official access.
Does this duplicate orgone-science tools?
No. Reich Files indexes documents and legal history. Science-claim tools belong at the sibling site theorgone.com.
