Blair Frodelius has been amassing Oz books and related memorabilia since 1974. His collection encompasses original editions of all 40 titles in the Official Canon, along with over 500 books pertaining to Oz, additional works by L. Frank Baum and Ruth Plumly Thompson, and a complete set of The Baum Bugle. His area of expertise lies in gathering the non-Oz works authored by L. Frank Baum. Currently, he is missing only one of the more than 100 titles that Baum produced during his lifetime (The Art of Decorating first edition). Blair aspires that TheOzIndex database will assist Oz and Baum collectors in gaining a deeper appreciation of the remarkable impact these books continue to exert on contemporary literature.

David M. Grover does not collect Oz books. He is engaged in computer work, handling a variety of tasks. Occasionally, he undertakes projects like this one to serve the community. These "pro bono" initiatives are his response to the chaos that the internet has become. He aims to promote what the internet was intended to be - a voluntary sharing of information for the benefit of all. He wishes to acknowledge: The Apache Software Foundation, Linux, MYSQL AB, Nedit, KDE, and The Free Software Foundation for supplying the tools utilized in the creation and presentation of this project. Unfortunately, Dave passed away in 2012. An old friend is maintaining the site in his honor. Technical inquiries may be directed to The Man Behind The Curtain

Also, a special thanks to Brian Brusky for many of the scans of the L. Frank Baum books!
