If you are serious about slide rule collecting, it is highly recommended that you consider joining The Oughtred Society.

The picture above is courtesy of group member Dagmar Rutzen who taught slide rules in her science class. A copy of the article she wrote for the Journal of the Oughtred Society can be found in the Files section titled "Getting Hooked on Slide Rules".
