St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary St Vladimir's Seminary Library

The Library at St Vladimir's Seminary currently holds over 121,000 volumes and receives over 350 periodicals. The library is considered one of the richest resources available on the North American continent for research on Eastern Christianity. The collection is especially strong in the areas of Orthodox church history, Orthodox theology, and philosophy and culture. Significant literature in other areas is also systematically acquired. The holdings have been immensely enriched by the donation of the following private collections (among others):

The library serves the needs of the faculty and students of the seminary, and the worldwide scholarly community as well. It represents one of the major assets of the seminary as an institution of higher learning.

The seminary is a founding member of the New York Area Theological Libraries Association (NYATLA), giving faculty and students ready access to the collections of other major theological libraries in the metropolitan New York area.

The seminary is committed to the use of modern technology to assist its faculty, students, and visiting scholars. Essentially the entire seminary collection has been cataloged on computer -- enabling us to speed up the processing of new materials and providing greater flexibility in research. The library provides access to various indexes and databases electronically.

The seminary's digital Internet connection provides additional opportunity for research by faculty and students and the means for external connection to seminary resources.
