About the Organization:
The Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity is a not-for-
profit library/museum dedicated to providing common ground to explore:
* the power of ideas throughout history to inspire individuals and
transform the world
* the ongoing search for life's deeper meaning
* the ideas, life, and achievements of Mary Baker Eddy.
The Library was established in June 2000 by The Christian Science Board of
Directors as a nondenominational, not-for-profit educational institution
for the purpose of "furthering the universal quest for spirituality and the
science of being - and their effect on health and human progress."
Although the Library is a separate 501(c)(3) organization, the Church has
committed to funding a portion of the Library's activities during the first
five years of operations and also donates administrative support from
Church departments such as Accounting, Web, Information and Technology, and
Site Services. The Library raises the rest of its operating budget from
admission and shop revenues as well as donations from individuals,
corporations, foundations, and other contributors.
* The Library features contemporary and interactive exhibits
including the well-known MappariumTM, the Quest Gallery, and the Monitor
GalleryTM.
* The Library houses the Church-owned archives of an American woman
who altered the landscape of science, religion, and medicine through her
work and writings. The Mary Baker Eddy Library archives comprise one of
the largest collections by and about an American woman. User-friendly
access to the collections is provided to the general public by the Research
Room staff.
* The Reference Room offers historic and contemporary context through
10,000 books, periodicals, and audiovisual materials focused on four core
themes: Spirituality and Health, the Quest for Spirituality, Women and
Leadership, and Mary Baker Eddy.
