Welcome to the on-line extension of the Retrogarde Reading Room, a citizen initiative to increase knowledge of the NSK.

The Reading Room is an experiment in symbiotic relationships. Just as the NSK State exists within the borders of other nations, the Reading Room enjoys a similar transitory existence, and a parasitic relationship with institutions of higher learning.


In its first year of existence, the Reading Room was located just outside the boundary of the University of Southern Maine's Portland campus. Now, the Reading Room has relocated to just outside the boundary of Bowdoin College's Brunswick campus.

The goal of the Reading Room is to increase critical thinking and understanding of the NSK through exposure to the broadest range of materials possible. The Reading Room is actively looking for donations of source material on all aspects of the NSK and its sub-groups. However, the Reading Room is not looking for monatary donations.


The Reading Room is housed in a private home, and is open by appointment only.
