The Theosophical Quarterly was the journal of the Theosophical Society in America (later renamed Theosophical Society) headed by Ernest Temple Hargrove. The editor was Clement Acton Griscom, Jr. It was published in New York from 1903 to 1938.

Index to the periodical

The Union Index to Theosophical Periodicals provides an index to this periodical online, listing article titles and authors in chronological sequence, with a search feature.[2] The index is not quite complete.

A Cumulative Index to Theosophical Quarterly for Volume I - XXXV (July 1903 - October 1938) is available in print.[1] In a posting on Theos-talk, Jake Benson provided this additional information:

The index was anonymously compiled and published in 1966 by the late Joseph Politella, Professor of Religion at Kent State University.

He in turn drew upon earlier unpublished attempts to create an authors index by the late John Kirkpatrick, a professor of Music for many years at Cornell and Yale. A copy of this unpublished index are among the Kirkpatrick papers at the Gilmore Music Library at Yale:

Kirkpatrick in turn utilized an unpublished index compiled anonymously by several TS members.
