Wish List

The Savitri Devi Archive would be grateful to hear from anyone who has information about Savitri Devi, including:

Recollections of Savitri in written or recorded form;
Letters to and from Savitri (originals or copies);
Paintings and drawings by Savitri (originals or copies);
Photographs of Savitri and her friends (originals or copies);
Writings by Savitri Devi/Maximine Portaz and printed or taped interviews (originals or copies — see list below);
Information about Savitri’s friends and associates or their heirs (see list below);
Copies of writings about Savitri that are not listed on our Literature page;
Documentation of Savitri’s life from archives, libraries, newspapers, etc. (see list below);
Information about individuals in Savitri’s photo album and transcriptions and translations of photo inscriptions
Surprises: We cannot ask for something if we do not know of its existence. We certainly hope to be surprised to learn of previously unknown writings and interviews by Savitri Devi/Maximine Portaz, previously unknown friends and associates, and so forth.

The Archive will pay all expenses associated with collecting such documentation.

Translations

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Savitri Devi made translations (probably into English, but possibly also into Hindi and Bengali of literature of interest to the Hindu Mission).

Savitri’s book A Warning to the Hindus was translated into Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, and three other Indian languages. The Non-Hindu Indians and Indian Unity was probably translated as well. The Archive will happily pay for copies (actual books or photocopies) of these translations.
Interviews
1. German Interview, 1981 or 1982 (ninety-minute interview recorded during one of Savitri’s last visits to Germany)
2. German interview printed in unknown publication in 1981 or 1982.
