The International Theosophical Year Book was a serial publication issued by the Theosophical Society based in Adyar, Chennai, India for six years - 1937-1942 during the administration of George S. Arundale. The focus of the year book was to provide the status and activities of the Adyar Society throughout the world, and it also served as a fact book and almanac. Little mention is made of other organizations in the broader Theosophical Movement. This series is particularly valuable for its glimpses into the status of each national section leading into Second World War.
