LAMBDA offers a number of back issues in PDF format. We were lucky enough to find multiple copies of early issues that were not in ideal shape. For these issues, we have posted multiple digital copies of the issue on-line to help readers decipher the articles. We are missing several issues that we would love to add to our collection. If you have any back issue not listed here that you would be willing to donate to our collection, please contact LAMBDA. Donations of any quality will be greatly appreciated. Duplicates are especially welcome on issues of low quality (March 1981, November 1982).
