Bookroom at Old 25 Beacon Street

The library's collections include publications of Universalist and Unitarian organizations, as well as auxiliary, related, and independent groups that later became part of the official bodies.   

Meeting minutes, reports and directories are examples of official publications. We also have publications of boards, departments, commissions, councils, and agencies.   When looking for publications in HOLLIS, use the organization's name as author.

Research in historical periodicals is the mark of a true historian.  Reading page by page can reveal a sermon or a theological debate, a report of an event, a note about a local congregation, or information about a minister or a congregant.
