Editor's Note:  All articles in the FOHBC magazine library are available to those researching information for their own articles or stories, as well as those researching their own bottle finds.  Use of the information is free, however, proper credit for all articles used must be given to the author and the publication it originally appeared in (as a direct reference in the text of your article or as a listing in your article's reference section).  Some articles include the author's contact information  in that the author may have updated information since the article was printed, or would be open to comments or questions - so contacting him, or her, is an option available by this means if the information is included. 

Articles listed on the pages linked below (other past issue listings) can be requested by E-mailing your name and postal address for a Xeroxed copy of the article to Cecil Munsey.  Please include the publication name (note that there are three different ones listed), the month and year, the title(s) of the articles along with the author's name so Dr. Munsey can locate your article and get it copied for you.  This information can be located by looking  above each table of contents listing having the article you need listed in it.  Also, please note that Dr. Munsey does not have extras of these issues that are listed below, the copies you receive from him will be from his own personal archived collection of editions.  

If you would like a copy of an entire issue, some issues from 2003 to the present (those listed above on this page only) are available.  Contact June Lowry for availability of the issue you need.
