The history of AA was something that I didn't really care for when I first got into the program. I was just too concerned about working the steps and not drinking any more! But I have surprised myself - I am not at all an historical buff of any kind, nor has history ever been something I was ever interested in. But the history of AA has really captured my imagination. There are several wonderful websites that have lots of AA historical information, document, and scans of old letters, pamphlets, pictures, etc. I also find that my AA bookshelf at home has started to burst at the seams with more and more books on the history of AA, and on the books that directly or indirectly were related to AA's development.
What I find fascinating is that every time I look into one little area, I find a wealth of information there that opens me up to more areas of exploration. It never ends! And I'm glad for that
