In partnership with the Common Experience, Digital Humanities, the English Department, and MALAS, Special Collections and University Archives is pleased to announce the opening of our new exhibit, Death of the Death of the Novel: the Larry McCaffery Archive.

The exhibit explores the Theosophical community of Lomaland, which flourished on Point Loma, San Diego from 1898 until 1942. A contemplative, intentional community, Lomaland was an experiment to make Theosophy “intensely practical,” according to its founder and spiritual leader, Katherine Tingley.
