Library Resources

“The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species.”

Carl Sagan (1934-1996)

Mission of The Library



The Alexandria West library seeks to preserve and provide access to primary research materials in their original formats, including books, periodicals, manuscripts, photos, recordings and other items of historical and philosophical significance in order to support educational and research activities germane to Universal Perennialism.

 

Overview

The Alexandria West Library and its associated Special Collections serve as a resource for Alexandria West, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the study and promotion of Universal Perennialism: the view that each of the world’s religions share universal truths. The library’s central focus encompasses the preservation of materials germane to the ancients and modern Perennialistic currents, including the modern Theosophical Movement, otherwise known as Theosophy. This modern Theosophical Movement was originally founded in New York in 1875 as The Theosophical Society, though it soon after splintered into numerous independent groups and syncretised into an ever growing variety of expressions such as the Arcane School, Golden Dawn, and severalRosicrucian Followships. The library seeks to include this Movement’s various factions and syncretic developments, as well as its foreshadowing literature found in Spiritualism, Swedenborgism, Transcendentalism etc., as well as all other theosophies or perennialist efforts.

 

Aim of the Collection:

Alexandria West seeks to preserve and provide access to primary research materials in their original formats, including books, periodicals, manuscripts, original documents, photos,recordings and other items of historical and philosophical significance in order to support educational and research activities germane to Universal Perennialism.

 

Access to the Collection

The library’s and special collections’ primary users are the associates of Alexandria West as well as researchers engaged in graduate or post graduate studies or in independent research aimed to contribute to the public's understanding of Universal Perennialism whether from a historical or philosophical perspective. We estimate the holdings to be about 15,000 volumes of published books; 564 unique periodical and newspaper titles in compete and partial runs; about 2,000 titles of pamphlets.

 

The Library Collections:

Literature concerning the Modern Theosophical Movement

The Focus is upon original editions of books, journals, pamphlets ect. Produced by the various Theosophical efforts dating from 1875 as well as revised editions when they are of special historical significance. For instance the first and subsequent editions of Isis Unveiled and The Secret Document are preserved here. The collection also includes copies of the the source works H.P. Blavatsky used in the production of her own writings.

Other Perennialistic Literature

The focus is upon preserving primary texts of the world's religions, mythologies, schools of Eastern and Western philosophy, ancient sciences, Spiritualism (with a focus upon the period from 1850-1875). This collection includes general treatments of the perennialist philosophy and its associated journals.

 

Special Collections of Manuscripts and Archives. In addition to published books and journals, the library seeks to preserve original manuscripts, documents, letters etc. deemed to further illuminate the history and ideas surrounding the Theosophical and other Perennialistic Movements.

The Point Loma Library and Archives. The Point Loma library and Archives was destroyed in the 2007 San Diego fire. However, Alexandria West had previously arranged to copy, and succeeded in copying about 95% of the unpublished documents in the collection. Additionally, we selectively made copies of very rare published magazines and pamphlets. The scope of materials focuses on the Point Loma Theosophical Community from 1897-through about 1951, with additional material pertaining to Boris de Zirkoff’s research in connection to his compilation of the Blavatsky Collected Writings. Also included are the papers of Henry T. Edge; various papers pertaining to the Point Loma Theosophical Community’s operation; documentation and correspondence concerning the various factions that arose in the community after G. de Purucker’s death in 1942. Est: about 50,000 pages of documents.

Also the original mss. for his book, Hall of Magic Mirrors; various notebooks, mss. for articles published in his journal, Theosophical Notes and records from the Berkeley Lodge, U.L.T. As Mr Endersby was an early networker among the various Theosophical groups, his correspondence with other members and leaders is of significant historical interest. The collection includes notes and reports concerning his work as an engineer. Est: 50,000 pages of documents.

The F. Pierce Spinks Collection. Unpublished documents include Mr. Spinks’ extensive correspondence with his subscribers to Theosophists Reunite and other correspondence dating from 1941 to 1979. Est: 3,000 pages of documents.

The collection includes files of 105 individuals who held various positions of leadership in the various Theosophical Organizations including W.Q. Judge, Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater. There are no original Blavatsky letters in this collection.

The Theosophical Organizations Collection. Includes a general collection of historically significant documents and records produced by the various Theosophical organizations and their branches; and well as other groups historically relevant to the Theosophical Movement.

Spiritualism

  

News of the Fox Sister's spirit rapping performances at Rochester and Hydesville New York, is generally credited as the beginning of the Spiritualist movement. Though predecessors such as Emanuel Swedenbourg's (1688-1772) descriptions of intercourse with spirits and descriptions of the heavenly and infernal worlds preceeded them by a century. Franz Mesmer (1734-1815) whose techniques led to hypnotic trance techniques where one might communicate with spirits, led further credibility to the idea. Immediately preceeding the Fox sister was Andrew jackson Davis (1826-1910) whose 1847 work, The Principles of Nature, His Divine Revelations and a Voice to Mankind, dictated from a trance state, became a more solid foundation for the Movement, and the source for the term "Harmonial Philosophy." It was also Judge Edmunds' writings that brought the subject to popular attention, French Spiritualist, Allen Kardec(1804-1869) published The Spirit's Book in 1857, thus launching the Movement in the France. His five books remain in print in Portugese and English translations and continue to be popular in Brazil.The investigations of physicist, William Crooks, (1832-1919) lended scientific legitmacy to the movement and was reinforced by the French Astronomer, Camille Flammarian's (1842-1925) writings on psychical research. By 1882, the London Society for Psychical Research was founded and a sister organization, the American Society of Psychical Research was founded in 1885. The Phiosopher, William James (1842-1910) became the first President of the ladder organization.

Phenomena commonly associated with spiritual includes the whole spectrum of phenomena gnerally classified under the labels of "psychic" and "paranormal." They include mental telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, hauntings, communication with spirits, miraculous healings, teleporation, spirit photography. The implications of these phenomena become relevant to religious believes concerning the existance of God, gods, demons, unsubstantiated exterior energies that may influence human behavior such as possible cases of demonic or angelic possession. Accordingly, the field of Spiritualism remains relevant to perennialistic notions concerning unseen worlds and powers.
