1996 will see the actualization of the first collaboration between the Albert Hofmann Foundation, the Heffter Research Institute and MAPS. These three organizations will all contribute funding and technical expertise to compile a complete bibliography of the scientific papers that have been published about psychedelic research from the very early days to the present. The bibliography is being placed on the World Wide Web in stages as it develops. It will be accessible free of charge for the benefit of students, researchers and anyone else with a curiosity for this information. MAPS budgeted $2,000 for this project.
Over the course of the last several months, Eric Katt has conducted the feasibility study, researched the various data sources, and designed the software architecture. David Goldstein will join this project in early 1996 when he begins to catalog electronically his extensive collection of psychedelic research papers. We foresee having many thousands of references in place before the summer, and to have them searchable by keyword for easy access. We hope that MAPS members will help in the creation of the database by letting us know if any references have been overlooked.
