When your country is several millennia old, the writings of scholars and philosophers and the publications in academic journals could fill thousands of bookshelves. Indeed, in Equestria they do. All academic journals and compendiums of the writings of Equestria's many thinkers have been copied and stored in the Canterlot Royal Academic Archives. As it would take a pony millions of years to read through all of them, this is but a selection of pieces from the CRAA that would be useful to a pony studying various subjects or wanting to catch up on historical or current affairs.

Often I get ideas of how parts of the show and lore connect with something else or with some academic theory or another, and I'll write an academic style essay about it. This is a collection for them. Usually I'll try to keep in canon with the show because it's more fun that way, but the essays are not necessarily canon with each other, though ideas might be shared between them because I'll find they work with multiple tangents.
