Introduction

The reason for me acquiring various materials is two-fold. One is for the purpose of having the original technology available for consultation and use, and secondly to seek information from various materials for historical research purposes as undertaken and set forth on this website.

It is reality that the technology has undergone various changes and has been subjected to various approaches. These changes and/or adjustments may have been advantages and thus in line of a natural positive development, but various things that have come to light in my researches may also indicate a downgrade at various time intervals.

	“The basics and fundamentals are stated early in the period of development and have not changed. ...
	That things which were true early in the subjects are still true.”          LRH (from HCOB 12 Jun 70 “Programming of Cases”)

“Inevitably, when any new approach or process is released, some will instantly assume that all ‘older’ (actually more basic) data has been cancelled. There is no statement to that effect.”          LRH (from HCOB 30 Jun 70R (Revised 6 Mar 73) “VIII Actions”)

	“So technical progress has been:
	CLASS VIII - 1968.
	COMPLETE DIANETICS - 1969.
	COMPLETE SCIENTOLOGY - 1970.
	This is quite an achievement.”          LRH (from ‘LRH ED 117 Int’, 26 Aug 70 “Current Cases”)

For this reason the focus is particularly on materials from the period 1968-73.

Do you want to help me?

 
Listing of materials wanted

 ► 1) Having the technology (1968-73 time span)

  Course packs & checksheets
The ones foregoing with an asterisk (*) are highest priority!

Priority checksheets:
*	HCO PL 12 Dec 71 “The Solo Auditor Course” HCO PL 12 Dec 71R (Revised 3 Feb 72) “same title” HCO PL 12 Dec 71RA (Revised 27 Jul 72) “same title” HCO PL 12 Dec 71RB (Revised 30 Jun 73) “same title”

   Any checksheets for further technical matters from the time frame 1968-76 would be welcome! (‘Okay to Audit’, ‘Cramming Officer’, ‘C/S’, etc., Also FEBC & ESTO checksheets)

The ones foregoing with an asterisk (*) are highest priority!

Any miscellaneous compilation of original references from so about prior to 1977 could be of interest. In particular any sort of course checksheets from the period 1969-73.

The ones foregoing with an asterisk (*) are highest priority!

► (2a) For research/historical purposes (general)

  HCO Information Letters/Administrative Letters/News Letters, etc.

Any miscellaneous compilation of additional odd issue-types such as Flag Orders etc. could be of interest.

Various type of magazines are and can be of interest. Most prominently probably are a variety of numbers of ‘Certainty’ (’50s) and ‘Clear News’ (’60s/’70s). Then ‘Ability’ and ‘The Auditor’. If you have materials, then tell what you have, and I will look at it.

Any data or materials (dated checksheets or other) that confirms if the Primary Rundown was a service that actually could be taken or not during early ’80s. Then any data about why and when this rundown was discontinued.

Finally if you have materials that for some reason you think may be of interest. Feel free to let me know.

  HCO PLs (HCO Policy Letters) Please note that the exact version wanted is indicated if there were revisions (original, R or RA etc..) The ones foregoing with an asterisk (*) are priority!
Mind also that I am only interested in the ‘original mimeo print-off’* releases. With this is thus meant not the ones that have been compiled and printed in these huge book volumes! The 1991 release of these volumes skipped revision, copyright and detailed compilation/typing notices.

  BPLs  (Board Policy Letters)
Please note that the exact version wanted is indicated if there were revisions (original, R or RA etc..) The ones foregoing with an asterisk (*) are priority!

  HCOBs  (HCO Bulletins)
Please note that the exact version wanted is indicated if there were revisions (original, R or RA etc..) The ones foregoing with an asterisk (*) are priority!

  Additional odd issue-types (EDs, Executive Letters, FOs, etc.)

► (3) Miscellaneous printed materials

  Grade charts

A chronological list of grade charts known to have been released is listed here (separate window). Any chart not listed there naturally would be of interest for me to acquire and examine.

Sought after actual printed copies of grade charts:
*	1966 [early]	There may have been 3 grade charts issued in 1966. SHSBC lecture 71 (renumbered 434) “The Classification Chart and Auditing”, 26 Jul 66 notes: “since the interim issue of early 1966 dropped several points off this chart that were vital to it and made it relatively unworkable”. It is most probable that the not mentioning of Dianetics that had made it relatively unworkable. I have: A grade chart  ©1966 [Jul/Aug?], UK. Published by the Hubbard Communications Office World Wide. Printed by St. Clements Press Ltd., London, England that does list the ‘Dianetic Auditor’ and ‘Dianetic Release’. Then there is another grade chart issued with date “1st December 1966”.
*	1st December 1969, [UK]	This probably is the UK release of the September 1969 ASHO LA or of the March 1970 AOLA chart.
*	Flag, June 1970 (©1970) Composition by Athena Publications. Printed in Denmark by Fritz Schur A/S	I do have an actual copy of this, however I would be interested to find a copy in very good condition that can be folded up following the original fold lines.
*	1976 (©1974 and 1976), California Scientology Publications Organization, Copenhagen 1976	Presently only known in German language, it may or may not exist as an English release with this year.
*	©1970, 1974, 1980 [Dec]  Produced by the Flag Marketing Bureau	Sought after is the handy small size (folded) version as advertized in ‘Ability 344’, [Dec 80]
*	Flag, 19 January 1982 (©1982) Temporary Issue	As HCOB 19 Jan 82 “New – Streamlined Classification and Gradation Chart” with respectively 8 and 12 pages (Grade and Class Chart). Sought after is the original release.
*	©1983, 1984, 1985, 1986 [1st half]	Only version known to me of this Grade Chart is actually in German. An English version is unconfirmed to exist and may not have been issued.

► (4) Film and sound recordings

  Films

  Sound recordings 1966-72 (by L. Ron Hubbard) Please note that articular materials that are not listed may be of interest nonetheless. A strike through means not sought after (copy available).

  Sound recordings 1973-75 (listed as by L. Ron Hubbard but not verified)Please note that articular materials that are not listed may be of interest nonetheless.

  Sound recordings (other persons)

Vocabulary:

     ..R, ..RA, ..RB (etc) or #R, #RA (etc):
For example: ‘HCO PL 24 Sept 70R’ & ‘HCO PL 24 Sept 70RA’, etc. The given date denotes the first time it has been published in issue-form. The R, RA indication may also follow after an issue-number. The R stands for ‘Revision’ and would refer to that it has been revised since it was first published. If it is revised a 2nd time it is indicated as RA, a 3rd time RB, then RC, and so on.
     BPL:
‘Board Policy Letter’. Color flash–green ink on cream paper. These are the issues of the Boards of Directors of the Churches of Scientology and are separate and distinct from HCO Policy Letters written by LRH. Only LRH issues may be printed green on white for policy and only LRH issues may have the prefix HCO. These Board issues are valid as Policy. (BPL 14 Jan 74R I, New Issues).
  This issue-type was established in January 1974. In October 1975 a project was started to cancel HCO PLs not written by L. Ron Hubbard and if still found being of value having them reissued as BPLs. By 1980 all BPLs had been revoked.
     BTB:
‘Board Technical Bulletin’. Color flash–red ink on cream paper. These are the issues of the Boards of Directors of the Churches of Scientology and are separate and distinct from HCO Bulletins written by LRH. Only LRH issues may be printed green on white for Technical Bulletins and only LRH issues may have the prefix HCO. These Board issues are valid as tech. (BPL 14 Jan 74R I, New Issues).
  This issue-type was established in January 1974. In December 1974 a project was started to cancel HCOBs not written by L. Ron Hubbard and if still found being of value having them reissued as BTBs. By 1980 all BTBs had been revoked.
     HCOB:
‘Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin’. Color flash–red ink on white paper. Written by LRH only , but only so starting from January 1974. These are the technical issue line. All data for auditing and courses is contained in HCOBs. For more information go here (separate window).
    HCO PL:
‘Hubbard Communication Office Policy Letter’. Color flash–green ink on white paper. Written by LRH only, but only so starting from January 1974. These are the organizational and administrative issue line. For more information go here (separate window).
     org(s):
Short for ‘organization(s)’.
     original mimeo print-off:
Individually printed issues and distributed from the Mimeo Section of the Scientology organization as opposed to those collected in volumes. These are the issues that you may regard as the real first prints. As a rule these are typed out, mimeographed and distributed as soon as possible after having been compiled or written. They are always legal-sized, 8½ by 14 inches (approx. 21,6 x 35,6 cm). If the issue had 3 or more sides, the pages were collated and stapled together in the upper left corner. More detailed information about this is found here (separate window).
     Qual (Div):
‘Qualifications Division’. 1. It could be called the correction division or the adjustment division. But qualifications would also serve. (SH Spec 77, 6608C23)  2. The Qual Division monitors not only technical quality and honesty but the administrative quality and honesty of the entire organization. HCO establishes the org, but Qual makes it run. (BPL 22 Nov 71R)  3. The division where the student is examined and where he may receive cramming or special assistance and where he is awarded completions and certificates and where his qualifications as attained on courses or in auditing are made a permanent record. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)
     Qual Library:
‘Qualifications Library’. Located in Division 5 (Qualifications Division), Department 14 (Dept. of Correction).  1. There is a Qual Librarian, whose duties are essentially those of a librarian, collecting up the materials, logging and storing them safely, making up cross reference files so that the material can be easily located. (BPL 21 Jan 73R, Use the Library to Restore Lost Technology)  2. Now that takes an interesting librarian because he's the Technical Information Center. (7109C05 SO, A Talk on a Basic Qual)  3. Qual is in the business of finding and restoring lost tech. (BPL 22 Nov 71R, Qual Org Officer/Esto)
     Saint Hill Special Briefing Course (SHSBC):
This was a course delivered by L. Ron Hubbard at Saint Hill, England during 1961-66 and comprises of 447 lectures. Its result is a very adept auditor and thorough know-how of Scientology itself. The materials are studied in chronological sequence so as to fully understand the development of the technology. This will make you a Class VI Auditor.
