A group of between 1 and 4 people (with 3-4 being optimal) can share a copy of the papers. These people can discuss the papers with David Wise and the other people in their group, but with no one else.

Each member of the group must sign the contract which includes the confidentiality clauses.

We take very seriously Calvert Vaux’s request that anyone who finds the secret not reveal it for ten years. Everyone who wishes to obtain a copy of the papers must agree to keep the papers, and any information they learn based on the papers, confidential.

1) Print out a copy of the contract, have each member of your group sign it, and mail it to:

David Wise
P.O. Box 269
New York, NY 10021

2) You can pay for your copy of the papers by credit card via PayPal. The papers cost $60 (for the entire group, not per person). Pay via PayPal by clicking the "Buy Now" button. Even if you pay through PayPal, you still need to mail the contract to David.

Or send a check for $60 made out to David Wise with the contract. Please note that the papers will not be mailed until your check clears.

You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the contract. You can get that here.
