This from Ken Small of PLP, located in the San Diego area:

Such a dreadful occurance. I wonder why a building with "firewalls" was not used, or with an underground storage facility. Perhaps this has needed to remain open to the public as opposed to being a storage facility, I can't tell from the post. But regardless, these materials seem to be of a nature that requires special concern for their safety and preservation.

Which begs the question, "I wonder what measures have been taken at Adyr and in London?"

An update from Ken Small of Point Loma pubs:

The nature of things is impermanence. The wisdom lives on. Even
so, safeguarding the literature of the Theosophical Movement for
future generations is paramount in keeping some of that wisdom
accessible. To that end we are initiating, with the cooperation
of Theosophical friends and groups in the United States and
Europe, a project to digitally scan the entire Point Loma
literary heritage. We also hope for financial support in this
critical endeavor.

For more information, to offer support, or to make a
contribution, find more information on the PLP website
http://www.wisdomtraditions.com, which should appear next week,
or write info@wisdomtraditions.com . The best contact address is
Point Loma Publications, 4060 Adams Avenue, San Diego, CA 92116,
United States.

As the project develops, we will also be rebuilding the library
and establishing long term centers in different locations for
Theosophical study, research, and practice.

Nicholas,

I took a look at your profile, and it says your e-mail address is private. I wonder if that prevents you from sending e-mail. I do not have a button to send you e-mail, while I do have a button to send e-mail to Christian.

I will try to send you an e-mail from a private username.
