The Rare Book Collection includes over 5,000 volumes. It embraces most books owned by the Library which were published before 1850. It is strongest in Catholic theology, especially patristics. There are significant holdings in philosophy, in English, Irish, and Canadian history, and in English, Irish, and French literature.
Many items in the collection are important not only for their intellectual content but also for their artifactual value. The collection provides numerous examples of the changes in the book arts from the advent of printing to the present day.
