This is an attempt to collect all known okrandian
sources in one place. If you feel that anything is missing, please
report that to me (either write me a mail at <zrajm@klingonska.org> or
type in your comment in the textfield at the bottom of this page).
This archive also contains the text of almost everyone of the
sources (well, not exactly all of them, yet) and these may be
searched using the form below (however keep in mind that the search
engine is still in a beta-stage of development, and may contain
oddities or even some ghewmey, should you spot any of those I
would be delighted if you could tell me about it). For information on
how to use the search engine, press »Help«.
I'm afraid you will find some weird stuff when searching
through the archive using this engine. This is because the data files
haven't been fully organised into a single system/format yet. This is
something I'm working on, but I though it better to offer the search
facility to you now, than to wait for perfection (which might well
take yet some time to achieve).
If you prefer, you may instead use the table below to
browse through the sources in chronological order.
Titles given in italics are the names of a production
(such as a movie or book) while titles surrounded by »angle quotation
marks« are the names of articles etc. which are part of a larger
publication. In most cases the text of the source in question is
available; just follow the link »text«. In some cases some additional
information is also available (such as where to buy the publication,
or a description of its contents and/or form).

The following are sources that I know of, but for some reason have not yet included in the list above. The reasons may be that I haven't had the time to include them, check them, or that I lack certain data (such as the release time of the source) which makes it hard it include them. As I found these things out I will include them in the list above.
