For over 175 years, the mission of the Library and Archives at Meadville Lombard Theological School has been to acquire and provide access to information resources that document the history, theology, culture, and people of Unitarianism, Universalism, and Unitarian Universalism specifically and religion more broadly. We continue this work by serving not only our students and faculty, but all the communities with which we are in relationship. Understanding that the task of information services is fundamentally a work for justice, we strive to create resources and services that provide our patrons the information and tools for self-reflection and exploration of the world and how they relate to it, that inspire and promote individual and societal change.
The Library and Archives at Meadville Lombard Theological School specifically serves the mission of the school by supporting students and faculty in their teaching, learning, and research through providing both physical and digital access to current, useful, and relevant information resources and services.
