Theological and Religious Studies Libraries
I have tried to list some of the significant library collections around the U.S. for religious research. You can search these catalogs to identify publications and then ask your own local librarian (not these libraries!) to help you obtain a copy through interlibrary loan. Many of these library web pages also include very helpful Internet guides and other online resources that may be available to guests.
