Current Exhibition:
Katherine Tingley and the Theatrical Work of the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society: 1898-1929
The photographs in this exhibition, which were taken at the headquarters of the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society in Point Loma, California between 1898 and 1929, were made available to ISPS through the permission of Grace F. Knoche, the leader of the The Theosophical Society. The original photographs are held in the collections of the Theosophical Society Archives located in Altadena, California. These archives are not currently open to the public, and this online exhibition, which is the first ISPS Online Archive Exhibition, contains some images that have never been published before. These images are visible documentations of one of the earliest instances of the Greek Revivalism movement of the United States, which began at the turn of the nineteenth century.
ISPS thanks Grace F. Knoche for her significant contribution of resources and her support of its mission.
