Bahá’í National Fund Weekly Update

With one Feast remaining in this Bahá'í fiscal year, we are now about $5.1 million away from achieving the $50 million goal. As the Champion Builders of the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, it is our time to arise and put forth every effort we can to support the spiritual and material progress required to fulfill the vision of a unified and flourishing humanity.

Unrestricted (not earmarked) contributions towards the National Fund goal allow for flexibility in supporting the many activities of the Faith. Universal Participation will be the key to achieving this victory.


National Archives - Update

The National Archives includes many precious items, including historic papers and even gifts from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi, such as the original copy of the Tablet of Ahmad gifted from Shoghi Effendi to the Temple when it was opened. Previously, the National Spiritual Assembly initiated a project to reconstruct the old publishing trust building and create a new permanent National Archives in order to create a more befitting and more protective location to house all these precious items and to keep them safe for the next thousand years so that Bahá’ís could visit them and researchers and scholars would be able to study the original papers or tablets. In developing the plans for the building, it was discovered that the structure was too narrow to accommodate the required preservation equipment. The amount of space needed for the equipment and the cost of the modifications needed to the building has made it impracticable to move forward with the original plans. 

In consultation with the Universal House of Justice, the National Spiritual Assembly has decided to put the bulk of the easily preserved archive items in a nearby building for now and to keep an archive unit in the Temple itself so that for conventions, meetings, and for visitors and researchers, some items are readily available and easily accessible. Meanwhile, search will continue for an adequate permanent home for the archives. We will continue to update the community on the progress of these plans.

This project will make possible a long overdue move of the National Archives, currently located in the lower level of the House of Worship, to a building that’s owned by the National Assembly. The new home for the Archives is close to the Temple and will feature state-of-the-art climate control and fire suppression systems. It will also provide access for researchers, both Bahá’í and the wider community, to access the millions of pages of historical papers housed there.

The national archives renovation fund is the most direct way that believers can assist the archives. Please feel free to click on the button below if you wish to contribute.
