The Marian Library collects, preserves and provides access to archival materials and special collections that support its mission of making the Blessed Virgin Mary known and loved. Special collections document a broad range of Marian topics including apparitions, shrines, titles, artistic representations of Mary, Marian spirituality and Mary in Catholic material culture. Archival collections include personal papers, manuscripts and records that document the history, activities and devotional practices of individuals or organizations with a significant Marian dimension.

The Marian Library is on the seventh floor of Roesch Library. Appointments are suggested for consulting the special collections materials in the Marian Library's reading room.
