The American religions collection

"The American Religions Collection, one of the largest collections of materials on alternative religious movements and practices in the world, offers thousands of hard-to-find serials relating to twentieth-century nontraditional religions and splinter groups of larger religious bodies in North America. The collection was built by J. Gordon Melton, the foremost scholar of nontraditional American religions in America ... Western Esotericism from Witchcraft to the New Age Serials is drawn from the American Religions Collection. It features more than 600 rare serials on Wicca, Neo-Paganism, Magick, New Age, and Occult groups in the United States and Canada. The collection of Wicca, Neo-Paganism, and Magick serials is the most comprehensive in the U.S. and includes many complete or almost complete runs of rare serials not available in any other library. Publication dates range from the 1920s through 2000, with the bulk of the titles published in the last thirty years."-- p. v.
