On this website I provide information on my writings. While there are references to items that have appeared as early as the 1950's, links to texts are confined to the computer age. My 1973 booklet on Gypsies, however, can be downloaded in PDF format (see below).
The Archives at the University of British Columbia have a biographical sketch and information concerning my research on Gypsies and other topics.
