The International Guide on Homeopathic Documentation Resources has been compiled using the data from the questionnaires completed by homeopathic libraries and documentation centres.

Whilst every effort has been made by the Documentation subcommittee to ensure accuracy of information, we cannot accept liability for omissions or inaccuracies. We would appreciate it if omissions, inaccuracies or new addresses could be reported back to us, so that we can compile another revised edition of this guide.

Since the size and facilities of each library/documentation centre vary considerably it is always advisable to check with individual persons or institutions when requesting information or documentation.
