ARDA is the version of the Reformed Druids of North America's archives, full with material from the past 40 years by dozens of authors.
There
are 2 editions of ARDA, the 1996 & 2003 versions. ARDA 2 is divided into 3
volume and is 6 times larger than the relatively light ARDA 1 version. ARDA 1 &
2 both come in Adobe's .pdf format, which is used widely for presenting lengthy,
intricate page-layouts for a constant clear presentation, and are "search-able".
Adobe Acrobat Reader is a FREE download for .pdf format, and is usually already
installed on your computer, but also quickly available at the button to the
right. ARDA 2 is also in MS Word's .doc format, if you need the pictures, or to
compile your own tailored version.
Main Volume = Part 0-5, 7-10
Green Books Volume = Part 6 (with 12 sub-divisions)
Magazine Volume = Part 11-14

Older Reformed Druid Publications
Before ARDA 1's 1996 release, there was Isaac Bonewits' "Druid Chronicles (Evolved)", which was released in 1976, and it proved a valuable collection of materials for Druids for the next 20 years. There is also added the "Carleton Druid Compendium" of materials that might have been available at Carleton in 1976 with modern commentary. Both DC(E) & CDC are nolstalgic classics, relatively thin, ready to print, and easily bound with a strong super-stapler or at kinkos. We recommend you use the .pdf version to maintain strict pagination on printouts, and the .doc version for cut & pasting material.

The Druid Chronicles (Evolved) has been painstakingly republished as close to the original as modern technology permits us. 99% of the text is printed in "Time New Roman" font (found on nearly all computers), but DC(E) also uses three free fonts that may not be installed on some older computers.
