The Savitri Devi Archive would be grateful to hear from anyone who has information about Savitri Devi, including:
- Recollections of Savitri in written or recorded form;
- Letters to and from Savitri (originals or copies);
- Paintings and drawings by Savitri (originals or copies);
- Photographs of Savitri and her friends (originals or copies);
- Writings by Savitri Devi/Maximine Portaz and printed or taped interviews (originals or copies — see list below);

- Copies of writings about Savitri that are not listed on our Literature page;
- Documentation of Savitri’s life from archives, libraries, newspapers, etc. (see list below);

The Archive will pay all expenses associated with collecting such documentation.
