Established in 1810, the main aim of the Swedenborg Society is to translate and publish the works of the Swedish scientist, philosopher and visionary, Emanuel Swedenborg. We are currently based in a four storey Grade II listed building in the heart of Bloomsbury in Central London, just a short walk from the British Museum. The building holds a well-stocked and comfortable bookshop, which sells the complete works of Swedenborg and other related subjects. The bookshop is open from Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 5.00pm.
Our publications include the English and Latin editions of Swedenborg’s works, major reference works related to Swedenborg and editions in foreign languages, including most European and some Asiatic and African languages. It also publishes an annual academic Journal. For authors interested in submitting a proposal see guidelines for submissions.
Our premises in Bloomsbury houses a unique reference and lending library and hold regular events. Visitors are welcome to use the library with advance notification. In addition, a 100 seat Neo-classical Hall and two smaller public meeting rooms are available for private hire. We have a worldwide membership and a newsletter is sent to members three times a year as well as information regarding new publications and events.
The Society was incorporated in 1925 and has since become a registered charity.
