Our Vision:

We are the Science of Mind Archives and Library Foundation, a gateway to discovering, learning, and living our spiritual philosophy.

Our vision is to be a treasury of inspiring and expanding resources for the growth and evolution of timeless wisdom and consciousness.

Overview:

The archives and library is located in beautiful Lee’s Summit, Missouri, where we moved in June 2024 and now lease a space from our New Thought sister organization, Unity Village. This facility is secure and climate controlled to ensure our precious documents and artifacts are preserved. The library has approximately 10,000 volumes of new and rare books by metaphysical authors, great theologians, and popular self-help authors. It is one of the largest collections of metaphysical books in the United States. We are constantly adding materials today…for the history of tomorrow.

About the Archvies

The Archives contain many wonderful artifacts from the history of United Centers for Spiritual Living and International Centers for Spiritual Living. Priceless treasures include copies of all of the Science of Mind magazines since October 1927 and a complete collection of Creative Thought magazines. Science of Mind books in Russian, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Japanese, Braille, as well as numerous reel-to-reel tapes and transcripts of Ernest Holmes’ radio talks and classes can all be found in the Archives.

The Archives also contain the minutes of meetings of United Centers for Spiritual Living since October 1927 and photographs of many of the early ministers and conferences. Historical documents from International Centers for Spiritual Living are also part of the collection.
Recent publications based on materials in the Archives are: Love and Law, 365 Science of Mind, The Essential Ernest Holmes and In His Company: Ernest Holmes Remembered. These materials open a window to the past and shine a light into the future of our movement. They give us a sense of continuity and history.
