School
of Living Archival Library ~~ Coming Soon !!
We
are in the process of designing and building a room, next to the
SOL Office, to house an Archival Library for School of Living. We
plan to hold the complete works of Ralph Borsodi and Mildred Loomis,
as well as other writers connected to the organization and its history.
We have some original papers and photographs as well. Further, we
plan to archive all volumes of Green Revolution. All items will
be available for archival research and perusing. The main idea is
to bring all of SOL’s printed matter to one safe central location.
Please consider becoming a “Friend of the SOL Library”
by donating to School of Living - a 501(c)3 tax-exempt educational
organization. An acknowledgement of your contribution is available
upon request.
No contribution is too large or too small - Thank you !
