• producing a comprehensive bibliography of near-death related articles in print,
  dating back to the late 19th century
• maintaining an archive of near-death experiences for research and study
• providing a channel through which researchers can publish research requests
• making resources available on this website

If you are writing a paper on the near-death experience, we have resources here.
