We appreciate your support
The Rudolf Steiner Archive is funded by tax-deductible donations to the nonprofit Steiner Online Library, US Federal Tax ID #85-2621701. Your gifts help us to make Dr. Steiner's teachings available online in English in a searchable, digital format. Nearly 100 years since his death, much of his work is not yet available online in English. We aim to rectify this. With your financial support we can continue to make this material more accessible, publishing our own English translations of works currently only available in German.
Together, we will continue to make the work of Rudolf Steiner available in English online in a searchable, digital format.
