Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.
