Welcome to the Mary Baker Eddy Papers

The Mary Baker Eddy Papers is a major effort by the Mary Baker Eddy Library to annotate and digitally publish Mary Baker Eddy's correspondence, sermons, and other manuscript materials.

A first selection of Eddy's papers, which included sermons and related documents, was published here in January 2014. In 2015, the Library began to add all documents from the years 1872-1880. We are now working chronologically and have published letters through 1886.

What you won't find on this site

• Most documents past 1886. You'll gradually be able to search for additional years as the project progresses. There are some documents past 1886 that are published here because they relate to Mary Baker Eddy's sermons, the first documents we published on this site.

• General information about Mary Baker Eddy and the Mary Baker Eddy Library. The Papers site publishes more detailed information about Mary Baker Eddy and the history of Christian Science that is based on her letters and other manuscripts. For general information go to the Library main site.
