Preserving our Craft & Safeguarding Your Legacy

Astrology’s richest history lives in the worn pages, private research, and out-of-print books of the practitioners who built this field. Right now, extraordinary 20th- and 21st-century works are sitting on quiet bookshelves, at risk of being lost forever. At Alexandria iBase, we are on an urgent mission to rescue, digitize, and preserve these irreplaceable materials. We are creating a free, world-class digital sanctuary that makes rare astrological literature accessible to everyone, anywhere, at no cost.

Whether you are a researcher looking to explore forgotten texts or an astrologer seeking a permanent home for your life’s work, Alexandria iBase is here to serve you. By donating your personal papers, manuscripts, or private library to our digital catalog, you ensure your contributions are safeguarded against time and passed on to future generations. Explore our growing library today, or partner with us to protect our shared history before it disappears.

Looking Ahead: A Universal Digital Archive

Our vision goes far beyond a traditional catalog. As we expand, AIP is working toward a dynamic, multi-media archive that includes:

  • Mass Digitization: Converting thousands of print-only books, journals, and rare out-of-print texts into accessible digital formats.

  • Audio & Video Archival: Preserving historical lectures, recordings, and media from key figures in recent astrological history.

  • Open-Access Learning: Ensuring that every curious mind—regardless of location or financial means—can study these primary sources at zero cost.

It is an ambitious effort, but a necessary one. By capturing the knowledge of yesterday and today, we guarantee that the wisdom of astrology remains alive, accessible, and intact for generations to come.

Whether you are a researcher looking to explore forgotten texts or an astrologer seeking a permanent home for your life’s work, Alexandria iBase is here to serve you. By donating your personal papers, manuscripts, or private library to our digital catalog, you ensure your contributions are safeguarded against time and passed on to future generations.

Anne Beversdorf received her BA magna cum laude, from the University of Texas at Austin, and her Masters of Library and Information Science at Indiana University.  Her first decade of work was as sole librarian of three special-libraries, after which she owned an educational software business.  When Pluto squared her Sun she walked away from all of that to practice astrology, both western and Vedic.  In 2016 she joined the Alexandria iBase Project as founding librarian, applying her knowledge of astrology to the subject catalog of the AstroCat database. Still a counselling astrologer, Anne is author of Vedic Secrets to Happiness (offering self-diagnosis and appropriate Vedic astrological remedies), the editor of several poetry books, and spends her spare time with textile arts and classical music.

Anne has received a Lifetime Achievement Award (for astrology) from Marquis’ Who’s Who where she has been listed for decades, and has recently been an honored speaker at an International Astrology Conference in India (February 2020). She has read  nearly 20,000 charts since 1993 and has frequently published articles in The Mountain Astrologer, IAM (International Astrological Magazine), and a dozen other astrology periodicals, large and small. Anne has lectured internationally for small groups and large conferences and has a global clientele. 

A practicing astrologer for more than 30 years, Christeen Skinner has been looking at planetary pictures since she was nine years old. She is fascinated by the correlation between particular planetary formations and events on earth. Measuring the apparent links between these pictures and financial markets pleases her immensely. She is deeply committed to the development of greater understanding of the potential of astrology and supportive of those researching links between the planets and trends in music, architecture and politics.

Christeen is a well respected teacher and key player on the astrology speaking circuit, lecturing at conferences in Chicago, Philadelphia, St Petersburg, Cambridge, Ft Lauderdale, Toronto and throughout the UK. In 2004 ‘The Financial Universe’ was published and later this year her latest book ‘Exploring the Financial Universe’ will be published.

Anna Grzeszkiewicz (Anna G. for short) earned her Masters in Library and Information Science from San Jose State University and has worked for a variety of libraries for over 30 years. Most of those were as an Academic Librarian with a focus on Research Services and Instruction. After retiring from Southern Oregon University (but still working part-time), she was presented with an opportunity to join a special library project focusing on the field of Astrology.

Joining the Alexandria iBase Project team was an ideal next step in her career. It combined her interest in the How and Why of existence and offered a chance to apply her experience to cataloging, a “behind the scenes” specialty in library work.

Nancy Baar began her library career at Southern Oregon University where she worked in the Circulation Department for 14 years. Her position included a variety of tasks including bookkeeping, training students, web revision, and cataloging documents.  She was also able to use her background as an artist to create posters for library events. 

Life circumstances led Nancy to other career choices but her heart was always back at the library.  When she heard about the position with the Alexandria iBase Project, the timing could not have been better. The Covid pandemic had just led to the necessity of a career change, so she jumped at the chance to work for this great organization, and has felt like the stars have been aligned ever since!

In 1993, Enid became involved in the dream of creating an academic college where astrology would be openly taught and joined the board of Kepler College. She was president of the College as it opened from 2000-2001 and again from 2007-2019.  In 2013, her interest in preserving and expanding an understanding of our astrological heritage led her to help establish the Alexandria iBase Project.
