This collection of ten articles treats several aspects of this rich history in three sections: the first deals with the history of specific collections at four libraries; the second treats current attempts to use special collections in teaching and the outreach mission of the library, including the development and use of digital technologies; and the third explores topics related to building library collections for the future, noting both pitfalls to be avoided and intriguing opportunities. 606 $aTheological libraries 606 $aLibraries$xSpecial collections 615 0$aTheological libraries. 615 0$aLibraries$xSpecial collections. 676 $a027.67 702 $aGraham$b M.
