The Fundamentals really are Must Read sources IMHO. Whether you agree with their premise or not, they give a remarkable insight into the viewpoint of those who championed the position and a check on the Fundamentalist movement as it exists today.
I skimmed through a number of the articles sometime during the late 90's. The copy I was using was from the Stanford University library, and was their only copy. What I found striking (besides some of the contents) was that no one had checked them out since the 30s, if I remember correctly. (Possibly the 50s -- several decades, at least.) That such essential documents about a major movement in recent American history were untouched suggested a serious deficiency in academic fashion about what is worth studying.
