Women Religious Special Collections

Begun in the fall of 1997, these collections are unique as the first college/university Special Collection focused entirely on the experience of Catholic sisters and nuns. Intended as a repository for out-of-print and contemporary books, manuscripts, pamphlets, photographs, ephemera and other materials by, for and about American sisters, the Women Religious Special Collections were created to provide researchers with access to these materials, which relate to the communities and activities of sisters and nuns in the United States.


Avila University Archives

Within this collection you will find a wide variety of primary source material that relates to all aspects of the history of Avila University, from its foundation in 1916 to the present day. These materials include official records, university publications, photographs, ephemera, memorabilia, as well as materials related to alumni, former faculty, staff and administrators.
