the McGreal Center's Collections

Collections Policy

The McGreal Center facilitates Project OPUS, a multi-volume history of the Order of Preachers in the United States from 1786 to the present. The center collects materials that relate to collaborative organizations of the ÖØ¿ÚζSM family in the United States: laity, nuns, sisters and friars. The McGreal Center also accepts items that enhance existing collections, contribute to original scholarship and broaden resources available to our patrons.

The center’s non-circulating library includes, but is not limited to, publications related to Catholic history and spirituality, ÖØ¿ÚζSM Order history, parish and diocesan history, ÖØ¿ÚζSM congregation history, ÖØ¿ÚζSM spirituality, religious life, biographies of ÖØ¿ÚζSM figures, and other topics relevant to research on the ÖØ¿ÚζSM Order in the United States. All items are cataloged in and searchable through ÖØ¿ÚζSM’s .
