My Words Trickle Down

There is an organization in the States, and of course I've forgotten its name, but it's something like "Association of Independent Scholars", because it exists to provide support and backing for scholars who are, well, independent. I think it's open to anyone from any country. Since you are of the generation who can find things on the Internet, you might want to see if you can turn it up. :-) Their members can get access to libraries and other resources that might be difficult to get into for someone with no affliation to anything.
