The Theosophical Society in America Archives exists to identify, collect, preserve, interpret and disseminate materials and information pertaining to the history of the Society and to assist its membership and authorized researchers in understanding and appreciating this rich heritage and how it relates to their lives.
This is an ongoing endeavor and is accomplished by collection of personal records, papers, slides, film, photographs, memorabilia, works of art and books from those persons wishing to donate them to this endeavor.
Volunteers are welcome to assist with a wide variety of tasks. People who live near Wheaton, Illinois can help with a one-time effort or an ongoing project. Those from farther away may be able to live on campus while working in the Archives.
Some projects supporting the Archives Department can be performed offsite. For example, recordings of digitized lectures can be transcribed; historic information can be keyed into spreadsheets; Web searches can be performed; and documents can be translated from Russian, French, German, Swedish, and other languages.
