Library

The institute of Westphalian Church History includes a library with about 14.000 materials. This collection is continuously supplemented by private donations and new purchases so that the collection varies from older examples to new research literature.

Thematically the collection focuses on:

  • Westphalian Church and secular history
  • Church history of other regional churches
  • Synodal reports
  • Theology and church law

The library also includes an extensive selection of magazines and journals. Apart from different Westphalian magazines, the library also includes several editions of historical magazines from the whole German speaking area.
