The Marian Library Newsletter was published from 1944 to 2023, starting out as a quarterly publication but varying in frequency over time, ranging from monthly to semiannually. Articles in the newsletter included research on Marian themes, Marian devotions, reviews of Marian books, and other information pertinent to the Marian Library and the International Marian Research Institute. It was reimagined in 2023 as an annual publication with a new name: Tidings. Like the Marian Library Newsletter, it is available for download free from this open-access institutional repository.
