H. P. B. Library
The H. P. B. Library is an independent entity that was established in 1917 by Alice L. Cleather. According to the website of the Canadian Theosophical Association:
The Library operates in accordance with the original ideals of the Theosophical Movement, which are to impress the truth of the universal brotherhood of all humanity and all life, and to exemplify its practice in daily living. Its aims are also to encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science; and to attempt to awaken intuition to our own deeper nature.
In view of the above, the Library contains only reliable editions of H.P.B's work carefully copied from the originals, and later writings of Theosophical students which are based on the Mahatma's teachings. Various books of mystical interest on eastern philosophies, western occultism and metaphysical subjects in general are also included in the Library.[2]
