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.

Located on the seventh floor of Roesch Library, the Marian Library is open Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Archives and special collections are non-circulating and available for use in the Marian Library’s reading room. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact the Marian Library at mlimri@udayton.edu or (937) 229-4214.
