During 1930, Annie Besant for financial reasons gave over publication of the journal to Marie Russak Hotchener in Hollywood while continuing the publication of a version of the journal as The Adyar Theosophist (the renamed Adyar Bulletin), resuming the original title and place of publication with the issue of January 1931 with herself as editor. This is a (indeed, the) Theosophical journal, but its aims as set out in its first subtitle was much broader and its pages included so much of interest to spiritualism and occultism generally. Initially edited by, and largely written by, H.P. Blavatsky. Facsimile copies of the first six volumes have been published by the Edmonton Theosophical Society, and the table of contents has been published online by the Campbell Theosophical Research Library of Sydney, Australia, at austheos.org. Harvard University; Eastern Illinois University; McMaster University, and other locations.
