As an aid for those studying beads, the Society of Bead Researchers has prepared an Author Index and a Subject Index for all 29 issues of its journal, BEADS. While the Subject Index is not all-inclusive, listing only topics that are dealt with in some detail, it will still allow the user to locate a wide range of information.
As a further aid to researchers, the Researching the World’s Beads Annotated Bibliography has just been revised and updated. Due to its size, the bibliography is divided into nine major political-geographical groups, two specialized theme groups, and a general/miscellaneous group.
Since a bibliography such as this can never be complete, the compiler <karlis4444@gmail.com> would appreciate receiving references to publications that do not appear therein.
Suggestions regarding how the above two research aids might be improved would also be appreciated.
