Archive
The first issue of The Separationist was published in September 1994. Each year the newsletter was published from September through May of the following year, taking summers off. It was a casualty of the pandemic and went on an unplanned hiatus from August 2020 until February 2024. Our archive presently has about 190 of the back issues. We’re still searching for missing issues—if you have any, or can help locate them, please email newsletter@lowcountryhumanists.org. You can view our tracking sheet here.
