The Gnostic Society Library is being continually improved and expanded. It is our desire to present all extant Gnostic texts, some in several different translations. These files will be stored both on The Gnosis Archive server (located in California) and on the Societas Gnostica Norvegia server (located in Oslo). At present, most of the files are still physically located only at the SGN site in Norway.

Over the next few months, we will bring updated copies of all the texts to the Gnosis Archive server. At that time, users in North America will probably gain faster access to the Library at the Gnosis Archive, while users in Europe may find file access faster when using the Library at the SGN site in Norway. When completed, the Library will include a search engine that will allow text and word searchs across all the documents.
