Skeptic Links aims to be the definitive directory of links to Skeptic, Atheist and Rationalist resources. Instead of having to maintain a list of links on your own site, we hope you will consider listing just a few favorites and a link to here. Everybody can then pool their efforts to keep this directory up to date. Any suggestions on improving this site to make it better serve the needs of the community are welcome.

The Aberree


The Aberree was a 'zine, or newletter, published from 1954 through 1965. The editor, Alphia Hart, and the publisher, Agnes Hart, put out ten issues a year.

The Aberree started out as "the non-serious voice of Scientology®" and ultimately encompassed all kinds of spiritual and self-help interests, from psychic phenomena and UFOs to improving eyesight.

The Aberree shows that convention and uniformity weren't the whole story of the 50s, by a long shot. It also shows that Scientology, which has grown famous for its attempts to silence dissent and criticism, was trying to squelch debate 50 years ago ... with similarly ineffective tactics.
