We are the information crossroads of BUSTH, providing print and digital resources for future theological research in a friendly environment.
The Boston University School of Theology Library, located on the entire second floor of the School of Theology is an autonomous BU Library that serves the School of Theology community on campus. Our goal as an institution is to support the School of Theology in its mission to “cultivate leaders for communities of faith, to enrich the academy, and to seek peace with justice in a diverse and interco
nnected world,” and support current STH curriculum and programs. Our library hosts an extensive collection in theology, and our Archives and Research Collection contains a wealth of records of historical value created by the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church, the Boston University School of Theology, and others. For information on particular collections owned by the School of Theology Library, check out our collections page. As a Boston University Library, all BU students, faculty, and staff, whether undergraduate or graduate, are welcome to use our library and borrow materials from us. As a member of the Boston Theological Institute, ATLA, and the Boston Library Consortium (through our affiliation with Mugar Memorial Library), we allow visitors from these institutions (with the proper identification) to borrow from us (and, conversely, School of Theology students can borrow from these institutions). Boston-area clergy members are also able to apply for borrowing privileges at our library. Furthermore, the School of Theology Library encourages the pursuit of personal and academic research in all stages of life. We open our doors to the public for in-house consultation of all our materials, without exception.
