Hard Copy Publications

Most of WIMSA’s information - and some publications - are held in the online WIMSA Library where you can download them.

Some publications are only available in printed form. WIMSA does not operate as a distributing agent for publications, but we may be able to assist you with information on how to obtain a copy. Contact Us if you would like information about where to locate one of the publications listed below.

Please note that WIMSA has not solely produced every one of these publications – for some of them we have simply assisted in their production and supported their development.
