About

With support from the Office of the Provost and in keeping with our motto, “Value Beyond Discovery,” Boston College Libraries promote engagement with Catholic collections, facilitate collaboration between institutions and scholars, and encourage research on the Catholic Church.

This Catholic research programming involves the expertise of staff members in the Libraries’ departments Digital Production and Digital Scholarship and at the Burns Library, O’Neill Library, and the Theological and Ministry Library. On-campus partners contribute to those research initiatives as well, such as the undergraduate students associated with the Boisi Center for Religion & American Public Life and the leadership and network of instructors at the Roche Center for Catholic Education.

These initiatives are coordinated by Thomas B. Wall, University Librarian, and Seth Meehan, Department of Academic Programming and Special Projects. To learn more, please explore our website and contact us at librariescatholicresearch@bc.edu.
