For Members Only: TCC Info Files Directory

As of March 2010, TCC Headquarters has received and published 483 Info Files which have been distributed to members with the Centurian newsletter. Beginning in 2010, Info Files will be posted online in PDF format. Where online versions are available, the number of the Info File in the directory below is underlined; clicking the number will open the document in a new browser window.

We have deleted from this directory the numbers for those Files which have little information about a destination and those which are generic rather than specific. We have also deleted some of the older Files when we had Files with more recent dates -- unless the information seemed to be applicable today. In the early days, dates were not included on the Info Files so we have estimated the approximate years they were written.

Obviously, if there is a blank space alongside a country, it is because we have not received an Info File about that location. We naturally receive more Info Files on the most unique or hard-to-reach destinations. If you have traveled to any of these countries in recent years, we welcome Info Files. We would also like updated Files to replace some of our oldest Files. The information should be non-commercial and contain your observations and information not found in the usual guide books. Keep in mind that you are writing for the well-traveled person since distribution is only to TCC members. Files must be typewritten, single spaced, and not to exceed two pages.

The opinions expressed in these Info Files are those of the writers and not the Travelers’ Century Club.

Back issues of Info Files may be ordered from TCC Headquarters for $1.00 each. The cost for the entire set is $300; overseas should add $20 to handle extra postage.
