The core collection of the Newman Research Library was donated in August 2002 and consisted of the late Father Vince Giese's 600-volume Newman Library and the Archives of the Venerable John Henry Newman Association. Since then, Father Giese's founding contribution has grown to over 3,500 volumes, divided into 20 collections of Newman and Newman-related areas of interest. The collections continue to expand, thanks to generous donations. Fifteen of the 20 collections have been sponsored. In addition, we have received as gifts special book collections from many who have loved and studied Newman through the years.

The special collections include:

• Newman's Writings (all editions)



• The Oxford Movement/Tractarianism



• Patristics – Early Church Fathers *



• Vatican I and Ultra-Montanism



• Newman's Biographies



• Reformation History and Theology *
