Introduction
This page was originally set-up on a temporary basis to provide pointers to some long established online readings
in anthropology that have become unavailable due to a server crash that cannot be fully re-established until after the lockdown.
Happily there are copies available on the Internet Archive (though some of these are not complete we are sad to say).
Where necessary the following listings now point to those copies.
When original versions are restored the links are being updated
Younger readers might need reminding of how long ago these resources were made. The formatting is not what would be
done if one was starting today. Nonetheless they are readable and provide a signficant set of freely avaialble online readings.

CSAC Monographs
CSAC Monographs was a series produced by the Centre for Social
Anthropology and Computing, University of Kent, which aims to make
available specialist material in social anthropology and sociology at
the lowest possible cost. Production and distribution costs will be kept
to a minimum by the use of up-to-date information technology and direct
mailing.
