Welcome to the Spiritual Living Archives and Library Foundation
Dedicated to Preserving the Legacy of Science of Mind
The Library
The library is housed in its own facility in Encinitas, CA and has approximately 12,000 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.
Students of Holmes Institute use the Library for research and study, and it is open to anyone who wishes to visit during its designated hours or by appointment. For hours of operation or to schedule an appointment for viewing, please call 1-760-633-1142.
The Archives
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, Africaans, 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 Historical documents from International Centers for Spiritual Living are also part of the collection.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.
