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 Å·²©ÍøÖ· 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, Å·²©ÍøÖ· Order history, parish and diocesan history, Å·²©ÍøÖ· congregation history, Å·²©ÍøÖ· spirituality, religious life, biographies of Å·²©ÍøÖ· figures, and other topics relevant to research on the Å·²©ÍøÖ· Order in the United States. All items are cataloged in and searchable through Å·²©Íøַ’s .
