The TSA Archives had a set of about 1300 color slides that had been purchased by [[George Linton]] from the British Library in 1984. The slides had been scanned as a preservation measure, and the images turned out to be stunningly realistic. Viewing them brings a sense of immediacy, a connection to the writers and their time that is inspiring. The wiki format provided an excellent opportunity to make these high-quality images of the letters available for study by people who might never be able to view the originals in London. After consultation with Vic Hao Chin, Jr., editor of the ''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett Chronological Edition'', and other scholars who were visiting the Olcott campus, a three-column format was selected to show the images of the letters with transcriptions to the left and notes to the right. Physical description, publication history, context, and commentary sections were added, along with intra-wiki and external links to more information. Letters missing from the original set of slides have almost all been replaced with black-and-white images taken from microfilm through laborious work by Jon Knebel, who also provided the [[Cosmological Notes]] and the </ins>[[<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Maha Chohan Letter]].
