Augmenting Resources
Interview Forum
WRSP has organized an Interview Forum where both interviews conducted by WRSP and interviews published by other media outlets are gathered. Interviews with scholars and other knowledgeable individuals have been selected to offer insights that augment the group profiles on WRSP.
The Media Center
There has been extensive media coverage of the groups, individuals, and activities covered in WRSP profiles. The Media Center identifies and links to a number of media sites that will be particularly useful to religion scholars.
Articles & Papers
WRSP supplements religious and spiritual group profiles with Articles & Papers provided by supporting scholars. They offer resources that augment the information contained in WRSP profiles. Permission to duplicate or distribute these materials remains with the authors.
Archive Centers
There are numerous archives that have preserved material of interest to scholars studying contemporary and historical religious and spiritual groups. Many of these archives are small and relatively unknown. WRSP is cataloging these Archive Centers as a research resource for scholars.
Scholar’s Corner [Under Construction]
The Scholars Corner offers a private domain where scholars can share information and perspectives on the history, development, doctrines, organization, activities, and controversies of the groups profiled on WRSP (as well as related groups). Access to the Scholars Corner is by invitation.
