The volumes contained within the collection cover such subjects as hermetica, alchemy, mysticism, gnosis, esotericism, anthroposophy, Freemasonry and comparative religion, among many others.
The library contains numerous rare works as well as thousands pre-dating the 19th Century.
Most recently, in a renewed bid to preserve these texts and make them more accessible, the library has been working to digitize the core collection and make it available for viewing online.
Known as The Hermetically Open Archive, the online collection can be found - here.
