USING THE ARCHIVE

An introduction to the archive

The Anthony Damiani Archive is both a vast treasury of wisdom and insight and a record of Damiani’s ceaseless investigations into the ways that divine wisdom is continually being manifested by the cosmos and all the creatures dwelling on it, including, of course, us—human beings, who are microcosms reflecting the same principles that structure the macrocosm.

The archive is divided into three parts: 

1

The document archive

This consists of digital versions of transcripts of classes Damiani taught from 1970–1984, the extant audio files of these classes, and student notes of these classes, as well as digitized versions of Damiani’s written materials, which include papers, drafts of chapters for a book-length ms., notes, and précis and abridgments of books and articles by various authors. For more information, see About the document archive.
2

A set of class series

A class series is a collection of classes on the same topic that spans a limited period of time. Often a series involves a class on the same topic that met weekly. To learn more about class series, see About class series. To see the list of class series, visit the Class series archive.

The diagram archive

Damiani’s artistic and musical nature, which was harmonized with his discriminating Reason, is fully on display in his sketchbooks that are filled with labeled diagrams and beautifully drawn mandalas. These have been digitized and included in the archive too. As of July 2026, there are 304 scans and photos of his hand-drawn mandalas and other diagrams in the diagram archive. To learn more about these diagrams and mandalas, see About the diagram archive.
