Religious collectibles available online



LOS ANGELES TIMES
A collection of religious and sacred material assembled by a group of European collectors in the '20s is available at www.TheSpecialCollection.org. Collectors interested in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Shinto, Baha'i, Jainism, Confucianism, Taoism and Zoroastrianism, as well as other religions and indigenous belief systems, collected and documented materials from sites around the world. The group that runs the site supports itself by selling samples from the original collection, such as soil from the Western Wall in Jerusalem and holy water from Lourdes.
