All of the past issues of Relatively Speaking — from 1973 to the present — have been fully digitized and are now available for viewing and downloading in the AGS Relatively Speaking Digital Library. The issues are available to acquire in PDF format and are fully keyword searchable.

 



 

AGS Members have the opportunity of viewing the fully digitized (PDF) issues online and or download them for free through the Login (upper right corner), then through the My Account area of the AGS website. 


 

 

 

 

Non-members may purchase any digitized back issue for $6.50 each through the AGS Online Store. Payments may be made by credit card or PayPal and once payment is confirmed, the digital copies will be emailed to customers. 

Searching for Articles of Interest

All feature articles in the past issues are searchable by article title, author and volume/issue/date headings, similar in character to other databases on the AGS website. Each search will result in a list showing all of the articles which contain the keywords used. You need only follow the Search Instructions below to find out whether and what articles may have information of interest to you.


Search Instructions:


Begin your search using any of the boxes shown below. For example, in the Article Title box, start typing a single letter, a combination of letters or a full word—you think may be part of the title of a feature article. Filter your search by adding a name in the author column. Add a year, if you wish. If you want to see all the featured articles for a particular issue, simply type in a volume and issue number. As soon as you start typing in letters or numbers—searching is instant. There are no search buttons to click.


This database is character sensitive, not case sensitive. It requires no wild cards or truncation for searching. After narrowing your selection, click on the Request button to purchase that single issue of Relatively Speaking for only $6.50 or $25 for a box set of four. A dialogue box will appear. Fill in your name and email address, then submit your request. You will be sent instructions for payment. An electronic copy (PDF) will be sent to you by email once payment is confirmed.

 

Column Descriptions:

Article Title—Author—Volume Number : Issue (Month / Year of publication)—Page

Scope of the Index:

Momentarily, Relatively Speaking Digital Library only lists featured articles that focus on an in-depth view or opinion. Compiling of the database is an ongoing project.
