Applied Astrology, Astrological Associations, and Astrological Research. This archival document contains an article titled “PROJECT ALEXANDRIA” by Kathy Bremer, accompanied by an editorial note by Michael Erlewine, published in 1983. The text outlines an AFAN-supported initiative aimed at globally networking the astrological community to collect, digitize, and catalog astrological literature into a centralized data bank and “Great Comprehensive Electronic Encyclopedia”. Bremer reviews key international library collections—including the AFA Library in Arizona, the IAO Research Centre in Toronto, the Astrological Association in London, and ISAR’s database initiatives. Erlewine’s appended note addresses misconceptions regarding the status of the AFA library, presenting insights from Bob Cooper, Lilian Huber, and Neil Michelsen, alongside Michelsen’s proposed plan for a volunteer-led, computer-supported cataloging effort.
