Firstly, a few current resources for exploring the world of Wilson:
» Official Robert Anton Wilson website
» Publisher of recent editions of RAW’s books
» Fan-compiled archive of RAW material
» RAW Illumination blog
» Austrian?-based fan archive (English version)
All of the above seem “labours of love” to me, and deserve your attention.
Time machine – Robert Anton Wilson’s personal “fave websites” – now fully curated!
RAW was a keen web surfer in the early days of the internet, and this led to him compiling his own list of favourite websites. These links were freshly available on his site when he was active in having them added and updated. We’ve reproduced them here – a snapshot from 20 years ago – sorted into the original categories he used, with his original descriptions – and linking (where available*) to old versions of the websites that were current then (via the Wayback Machine internet archive):
(*Some of the links were already dead 20 years ago – so we’ve looked for earlier archive versions, and linked to the latest of these, since they were presumably the versions that RAW linked to.)
