Journal Articles

Rowbotham's successors and those who would try to refute them have continued their debates in the journals and magazines of the day.

Journal and magazine articles appear here. As with books, the list has been broken down, with materials from outside the Library of Congress being given their own list following that of the Library of Congress materials. The resulting resource lists have been organized by author's surname where known, and then by title.

The Flat Earth and its Advocates: A List of References was originally published in May of 1998. Works which postdate 1998 are drawn from the new material available in the collection on the subject.

The subscription resources marked with a padlock are available to researchers on-site at the Library of Congress. If you are unable to visit the Library, you may be able to access these resources through your local public or academic library.
