OUR CATALOGUE

AstroCat is different from other online catalogues like WorldCat. Its organizing principles are based in concepts and terminology embedded in the language of astrology:

• Specializing in astrology and astrology-related resources.

• Searchable by specific astrological subject terms (most libraries rarely get more specific than "astrology" in cataloguing these materials).

• Including tables of contents in our cataloguing records whenever possible.

AstroCat currently has over 9,000 records including:

• The private libraries of several professional astrologers and astrological associations. (Primarily print books and periodicals in both English and several foreign languages)

• Digital versions of many astrological works in the public domain.

• Individual issues of two online astrology publications, Career Astrologer and Infinity Astrological Magazine. We include searchable titles and authors of each article. Each issue is available as a PDF for personal use.

• Works by authors who have granted rights to AIP to upload digital copies for personal use.

​​

Plans for the Alexandria iBase Project:

• Add audio and video resources to the catalogue and website.

• Identify and add private collections and private papers of a wide variety of professional astrologers.

• Acquire space to eventually house acquired physical collections.

Library services available:

• Research assistance.

• Recommendations by professional astrologers for specific subject areas.

​​

Projects in progress:

• Cataloguing the private collection of Philip Graves (archivist and historian of astrological works).

• Cataloguing the private papers of Marion March.

• Growing the AIP digital database.
