This is a portal into study of [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)|''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'']] and the [[Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom (book)|''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom'']]. This portal is an opportunity for students to view '''color images of the original letters''' in a three-column format with transcriptions and notes. Commentaries, background, publication history, and physical descriptions will be gradually added, derived from the work of many scholars of the letters from the Mahatmas, including [[Gottfried de Purucker]], [[Margaret Conger]], [[Mary K. Neff]], [[George Linton]], [[Virginia Hanson]], and [[Joy Mills]].
'''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett''' were first published by [[A. Trevor Barker]] in 1923. The book was followed by a second edition in 1926, a third edition by [[Christmas Humphreys]] and [[Elsie Benjamin]], and a chronological edition by [[Vicente Hao Chin, Jr.|Vic Hao Chin, Jr.]] Each letter has a name such as "Mahatma Letter No. 1", following the chronological numbering system, but can also be quickly located in Barker numbering, as described in [[Navigation and shortcuts in the Mahatma Letters Portal]].
'''Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom''' were first published in two volumes (series) in 1919 by [[Curuppumullage Jinarājadāsa]], including a commentary on letters sent to various individuals. The book went through several editions, the most recent being in 1988, which uses a different numbering scheme.
See [[Theosophy Wiki:About|About This Wiki]] for more history of this project. In the future, it may be possible to add images of letters to [[A. P. Sinnett]] from [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky|H. P. Blavatsky]]. Watch for announcements in the [[Theosophy Wiki:Community portal#Plans and announcements|Community Portal]].
