Congregational Library & Archives

The Congregational Library began in 1853 when a small group of Boston clergymen donated 56 books from their personal collections. A century and a half later, it has become an internationally recognized resource for scholars, religious leaders, churches, and the Boston community.

The Congregational Library & Archives brings old and new together, preserving and promoting the history of Congregationalism.
