About gymnosophy.org

This site is based on a personal desire to present and cross-reference a variety of nudist/naturist thoughts and history in a convenient form.

This is a not-for-profit undertaking. We may accept some advertising in order to defray the costs of acquiring, storing, scanning, and presenting this information, but we'll try to keep that focused and to a minimum.

This site was around for a while back in 2002, but the publishing engine I had at the time was not as powerful as what I have now, so it was generally not practical to keep things updated or fleshed out to the point it could have been.

Feel free to contact us using the link at the bottom of each page.

We welcome contributions, loaning to us for scanning, or offers of:

• Personal histories - do you have nudist memories that you'd like to share? We would love to present them here, either credited or anonymous, for future generations and researchers to be able to read.
• Ephemera - membership cards, letters, brochures, post cards, photos, souvenirs...anything dealing with nudist or naturist culture. We can "blur" any personal names, etc., if you desire for privacy.
• Books and Magazines - especially pre-1950 and post-1965, but any time period is of interest.
• Reprint rights - if you own the copyrights to any relevant articles on nudism or naturism that you would like to see here, we would be glad to make them available.

Due to copyright restrictions, we will generally avoid presenting any material here of a recent vintage without permission of the publisher / copyright holder. If you see something here that you believe violates your copyright, please let us know and we will address the situation as soon as possible.
