• UNDERCURRENTS, the magazine of radical science and
alternative technology [ISSN 0306 2392], was published from London,
England, from 1973 to 1984 [No. 60].
This Index covers UC01 [Spring 1972] - UC43 [Dec-Jan 1980]: the first
nine years. It was created by Charmian Larke of the Alternative
Technology Information Group. It is reproduced here as a set of 32 A4
images of the typed original. It is not fit for OCRing and therefore no
text version exists. Nor is there an index to UC44 - UC63, the final
issue.
At the end, starting on page 34, I have added the Contents Pages of the
issues of Undercurrents I have published on Scribd so far [UC05 - UC14
at 15.01.09]. These may be searched for author names and key words
using the Find command. CJS.
