Catholic Research and Resource Guide

Welcome

This guide presents resources concerning the history of the Catholic Church. You'll find a wide range of materials and documents about the Church, including items within the library's collection as well as reliable and informative web resources. If you're embarking on a research project, consider contacting the library for help. We can set up a research consultation, send you links to background information, books, or articles, and explain resources like ATLA, RefWorks, and interlibrary loan.

We would like to thank the Eugene H. Maly Memorial Library at Mount St. Mary's Seminary and School of Theology for generously allowing us to base many aspects of this guide on their Catholicism resource guide.
