Project Updates:
The 2024 September Drive is focused on Shulgin Archiving and reinstating our DrugsData program.
- Shulgin Archiving: On the Shoulders of GiantsStill finding a few bits and pieces here and there (letters tucked in books, an overlooked box in a closet, etc)...but the scanning of Sasha and Ann's papers is 99% finished. We recently had a group at the Shulgin farm doing a search for items that haven't been digitized. Metadata creation is ongoing ... sorting through scans and figuring out what it all is, keywording, summarizing, etc. We've categorized and added metadata for 75,000 (out of 250,000) scanned Shulgin documents so far! Still remaining are cataloging Sasha's psychoactive drug related books (we've done all the off-topic books) and the shelves of unusual media (glass slides, video tapes, undeveloped film of odd formats, and out-of-date digital storage media of various sorts).
- DrugsData: Right To KnowErowid's DrugsData is the only anonymous mail-in laboratory drug checking program in the United States, operating continuously since 2001. In April the DEA instructed us to temporarily halt lab testing while they review their internal process for authorizing our special status. We're working hard to understand and resolve this frustrating issue. In collaboration with research partners, DrugsData has analyzed more than 6,000 samples in the last three years. .
We continue to believe strongly in DrugsData's goal of promote drug checking and instill the expectation that everyone has a right to know what's in the substances they consume. The human right to knowledge should include the right to analyze one's drugs, regardless of their legal status. See DrugsData Project Update for more information. - Tim Scully History ProjectWe have recently gotten an initial agreement in place with Tim Scully (known for his LSD synthesis in the late 1960s) for Erowid Center to be his literary executor with the goal of helping shepherd his History of Underground LSD Manufacture project. We're excited!
