Our Library

This is a unique institution renowned for its comprehensive and specialised library, with many ancient and rare works and manuscripts among its 500,000 volumes.

Research Centre

Saints are inspirational, though some may belong more to the realm of folklore or even invention. For twenty centuries they have been influencing our world, our culture and our thinking in ways few people realise.

22,000 ancient books revealed!

Thanks to a generous gift from the Baillet Latour Foundation we are able to catalogue over 22,000 books published prior 1800.
