Interlibrary Loan Program

If you would enjoy reading any of the following reminiscences that are available in the Longyear library, but don't live close enough to the Museum to do so, please consider our Interlibrary Loan program.

Briefly stated:
1. select from 1 to a maximum of 3 reminiscences that you would like to read;

2. go to your local public library's Interlibrary/reference department and have them initiate an Interlibrary request to Longyear for the reminiscence(s) you wish to see;

3. once the request is received from your public library we will mail the reminiscences to that public library where they must be read and used in that library (as non-circulating material) under the same stipulations that they would be used at Longyear. Please read the policies and notes concerning these reminiscences.

Copying or taking notes from unpublished reminiscences are not allowed as these materials have various legal restrictions placed upon them.

Library's Purpose

The books, manuscripts, pamphlets, and periodicals in the Library are made available so that those who are interested may learn more about the history of, and the human footsteps taken by, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer, Founder and Leader of Christian Science, and her students.

Reminiscences in Context

When reading the manuscripts or reminiscences of the early workers, it should be remembered that some were written many years after the events described. They are accurate only according to each student's recollections and personal knowledge of events. There may be conflicting views or information in the various accounts of the same event. It is for this reason, and others, that we do not allow copying in the library. We have not edited or altered any manuscript, but where there were obvious discrepancies we have added supplementary information as an endnote, a footnote, or have directly inserted necessary explanatory material in the text in square brackets.

We trust you will enjoy these materials and invite you to visit our museum and historic houses located in Amesbury, Stoughton, Lynn, Chestnut Hill, and Swampscott, Massachusetts, and Concord, North Groton and Rumney, New Hampshire. Please see current brochure for open hours and appointment information.
