Mulani Global U/U Special Collection

Mūlāni is a Sanskrit word that means “to take root.” The Mūlāni Global U/U Special Collection serves as the repository for materials that document the deep roots of Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist (U/U) international communities. This special collection contains stories, correspondence, sermons, projects, and other materials that shed light on the past and inform future international endeavors.

Mūlāni is a resource for those who are interested in the U/U international story as well as congregations and organizations looking to preserve their documents.
