Program accomplishments

  • Information Gathering, Archiving, and Analysis: The Society Library devotes substantial effort to collecting, researching, and archiving information about as many detectable points of view as possible on complex social and political issues in order to build digital library collections. These efforts include collecting the arguments, claims, sentiments, opinions, evidence, and data found within scholarly articles, government reports, documentaries, news, television, books, textbooks, podcasts, classroom materials, websites, various social media, as well as receiving bulk collections from institutional partners or through in-person interviews and group sessions. This information is then curated and organized into online reference library collections through various manual and technological means, including AI tools like automated research and analysis. The purpose of the library is to assist the public in searching for the truth in a less biased, more rigorous, and more expedient manner. Although The Society Library curates, cleans, and enriches information, it does not censor, aim to bias, nor desire to corrupt information. We hold ourselves to high ethical standards, which are detailed on our website. Overall The Society Library aims to preserve the library tradition throughout the 21st century in a new digital form, by preserving and presenting information in organized ways that maximally benefit public truth-seeking as well as the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom.
    Expenses $284,213
  • Information Delivery, Education, Utility, and Access: REVIEW /UPDATE Once information is thoroughly researched, organized, and published in library collections, The Society Library brings both the information itself and information literacy programming directly to the public. This is done through: 1.) An online, browsable library database for active learners to easily access information on social and political issues. 2.) Visualizations that summarize the content in the library to provide different ways for learners to access the information, which includes products like: Vote By Reason, Papers, Catalog, and our AI Agent technology. 3.) Educational programs, such as internships, in which we teach our rigorous research methodology and logic-based media literacy curriculum. 4.) Educational content, including written publications, educational videos, instructional demos, and tutorials. 5.) Partnerships that may apply or disseminate the data through other research and educational projects for public benefit, usually by utilizing our API-accessible information gathering tools.
    Expenses $5,991
  • Targeted Services and Consultation: To support the sustainability of the organization, The Society Library provides research and consulting services based on its expertise, methodology, and technological capabilities. These services include: building content databases, fact-checking services, building online FAQs, analyzing legislation, and consulting to improve the logical decision-making capabilities of groups and individuals. The Society Library selects clientele based on their alignment with The Society Library's mission and for the ability to advance The Society Library's internal technological development, public-benefit programming or its internal training. Clients include private individuals, city-level public officials, federal-level public officials, non-partisan activist organizations, news organizations, and private companies. The Society Library is not interested in advancing any partisan agenda whatsoever. The Society Library only works with non-partisan activists groups and government officials on the basis that the subject of research interest is aligned with the Society Library's topic scope and The Society Library is not asked to compromise its conduct, in which we strive to be maximally truth-seeking and as unbiased as possible. The Society Library outright refuses to engage in any advancement of one party in an information war dynamic over others, we simply exist to advance truth-seeking itself.
