This collection Earth First Movement features an expanding archive of journals, pamphlets and other ephemera from the Earth First! Movement and its many offshoots.

The ALARM began in 1991 as a revolutionary ecological news quarterly published by Earth First! groups active in the northeastern United States, emphasizing news and direct actions significant to regional and indigneous groups. The local Earth First! group Biodiversity Liberation Front EF! was its original publisher; issue 3 was the first issue to be broadly circulated.

"Earth First!" is the official publication of the Earth First! movement. The environmentalist group Earth First! was founded in 1980 on the idea that every life form and ecosystem has a right to live and flourish regardless of human interests. First published as a newsletter in 1980, Earth First! has existed alongside the movement as a way to spread commonly held beliefs in Earth First! culture, such as biocentrism, deep ecology, and direct action. The magazine is also commonly known as the Earth First! Journal.

Live Wild or Die!, the most radical of the publications to derive from—even reject—the Earth First! movement, was published in various locations along the west coast of the United States starting in February 1988. The Rachel Carson Center's Environment & Society Portal makes archival materials openly accessible for purposes of research and education. Views expressed in these materials do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Rachel Carson Center or its partners.

Intended as yet another instrument for attacking anthropocentric ideologies and voracious agricultural/industrial civilizations, the journal "Wild Earth" was published by the Earth First! movement between 1991–2004.

"Das Ziel"/"Das neue Ziel", "Klingsor", and "Festschrift zum Zehnjahresfest der siebenbürgischen Zeitschrift Klingsor 1924/1934" provide a unique panorama of German-speaking cultural life in interwar Romania, closely connected with Romanian and Hungarian circles and the German-speaking abroad.

"Das Ziel" appeared from April to October 1919 in initially 1,200 copies and did not reveal a clear literary program. Voices of regional German-speaking literature like Erwin Neustädter, Otto Folberth, and Erwin Wittstock made their debut in it, but Heinrich Zillich also found "his path as a poet" here. Alfred Margul-Sperber published his "almost complete early poetry" in "Das Ziel" and, alongside Leopold R. Guggenberger, belonged to the frequently featured authors.

"Das Neue Ziel" is the successor magazine to "Das Ziel" and adopted a more conciliatory tone from the beginning. The reestablishment was preceded by the realization that a magazine should "organically grow from our circumstances" and must coexist with "our circumstances", so that it could become "a meeting point for all intellectual circles, without party and partiality." Together with the publication "Ostland" in Hermannstadt and "Nerv" in Czernowitz, "Das Ziel" and "Das Neue Ziel" paved the way for "Klingsor".

"Klingsor. Siebenbürgische Zeitschrift", which was published from 1924 to 1939 in Kronstadt/Brașov, Romania, is the most significant German-language cultural periodical published in Southeastern Europe during the interwar period. The magazine was considered a literary and cultural platform for the generation of the war. The writer and later displaced persons official Heinrich Zillich served as the editor of Klingsor.
