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.
