UNDERCURRENTS, the magazine of radical science andalternative technology [ISSN 0306 2392], was published from London,England, from 1973 to 1984 [No. 60].

This Index covers UC01 [Spring 1972] - UC43 [Dec-Jan 1980]: the firstnine years. It was created by Charmian Larke of the AlternativeTechnology Information Group. It is reproduced here as a set of 32 A4images of the typed original. It is not fit for OCRing and therefore notext version exists. Nor is there an index to UC44 - UC63, the finalissue.

At the end, starting on page 34, I have added the Contents Pages of theissues of Undercurrents I have published on Scribd so far [UC05 - UC14

at 15.01.09]. These may be searched for author names and key wordsusing the Find command. CJS.
