The <strong>Seminary</strong> Library<br />

The <strong>Princeton</strong> <strong>Theological</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> Library is one of the nation’s largest theological<br />

libraries supporting religious and theological studies, with over 1,200,000<br />

books, periodicals, microforms, manuscripts and other items including electronic<br />

databases, ebooks and ejournals. The special focus of the Library is on Christian<br />

studies and includes one of the country’s most extensive collections of Latin<br />

American theology. Working in collaboration with the <strong>Princeton</strong> University Library,<br />

the resources of other religious traditions of the world are also available to faculty<br />

and students.<br />

The Library is a joint work with the <strong>Seminary</strong>’s Department of Information<br />

Technology building adequate networked infrastructure, datasets, tools, and applications<br />

necessary to support digital work in religious and theological studies. The<br />

Library is home to one of the regional scanning centers of the Internet Archive<br />

and has utilized its relationship with the Internet Archive to create the <strong>Theological</strong><br />

Commons (http://commons.ptsem.edu), a collection of digital images, which can<br />

be read online or downloaded.<br />

The Library also houses the Reigner Reading Room, named for publisher Charles G.<br />

Reigner. It houses educational materials and religious curriculum materials to support<br />

church ministry.<br />
