Primary scans and working copies
The most directly useful scan in the archive is La sante par les ondes, preserved through BIU Sante / Medica. The local file records it as a library scan of a French pamphlet presenting Lakhovsky's theories with observations by practitioners.
The archive also includes working copies of Lakhovsky texts from Internet Archive and Gallica OCR exports. These are useful for searching and orientation, but OCR quality and scan provenance should be checked before quoting.
Publication dates and reception points can be explored alongside patents and claims in the interactive evidence timeline.

Why metadata-only records matter
Bibliographic records are not substitutes for full scans, but they prevent the archive from inventing titles or editions. Records from BnF, NLM, WorldCat, DNB, and LOC help establish that a work or authority heading exists, even when the text itself cannot yet be lawfully downloaded.
Copyright caution
The site should avoid pirated copies of twentieth-century editions whose status is unclear. When a title is relevant but rights are uncertain, the correct treatment is metadata and a link to the catalog record, not a reposted PDF.
