The quarterly print publication of the Anthroposophical Society in America, which can be viewed below, goes back at least to 1930, with newsletters sent out even before then. Until 2009 it was printed simply and called News for Members. In that year it began a process of evolution into a full-color publication for members and friends, and was published in 2009-2010 as Evolving News for Members & Friends. The six issues from those years are linked below, both as full PDFs and as separate articles.

In 2011 with the special issue for the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rudolf Steiner, a new name, being human, was adopted to reflect core concerns of anthroposophy in the 21st century. It can be viewed on its own page, and it continues to include news and events of the anthroposophical movement in the USA.
