The Drug Policy Archive, a digital collection of 2,600 books, is a groundbreaking collaboration between the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) and the Substance Abuse Librarians and Information Specialists (SALIS). The archive is hosted as part of the larger SALIS Collection at Internet Archive. The SALIS Collection is a comprehensive, free, online e-library of over 8,400 resources focused on alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and addiction topics. Anyone, including you, can access these resources free of charge!
Many of the resources within the archive include rare or out-of-print books and government reports that are notoriously difficult to find elsewhere. By preserving and sharing this collection online, the archive ensures that critical information on drug policy reform, harm reduction, and addiction studies is readily available to educators, researchers, advocates, and the general public.
