Development
Contributions to the Marian Library are used to purchase Marian
books, provide scholarships for students, develop new programs,
conduct research, and support the Marian Library's publications.
Our mission is to acquire every significant Marian book and the
materials necessary to preserve the rich Catholic Marian
heritage, while encouraging and sponsoring studies on the Virgin
Mary that look to the future. By making a donation, remembering
the Marian Library in your will, or establishing a scholarship in
your name or in memory of a loved one, you will help ensure that
the Marian Library will be able to assist those who wish to study
the Church's Marian doctrine and tradition.

The Marian Library is a center for research. What artistic
depictions of Mary hold the most meaning for youth, and what role
does Mary play in the lives of teen-agers? What place does Mary
hold in film or in juvenile literature? These are among the
questions that intrigue scholars at the Marian Library, the
headquarters for numerous research and publication projects.
Publication
The Marian Library also publishes scholarly works. Publications
include Marian Library Studies, a journal of original
research, and Marian Studies, the proceedings of the
yearly meeting of the Mariological Society of America. A recent
issue of Marian Library Studies --
Mater Fidei et Fidelium -- contained 818 pages of essays
in five languages by 60 authors from three continents whose
research explored many areas of Marian studies.
