Jesuit Books and Libraries in Europe, 1540s-1770s
The European Jesuit Libraries Provenance Project
This is the largest census of books owned by European Jesuit institutions prior to the suppression. It includes both texts currently held in libraries and information from pre-1773 inventories, and is an ongoing project created by Kathleen Comerford (Georgia Southern University).
The EJLPP depends not only on libraries willing to share their collections, but on student interns. Our fifteenth assistant, Grace Brannen (BA student), worked with us in Fall 2025! Past students have included the prize-winning Mady Bullard (see the About Us section for more), who has completed a degree in Library and Information Studies at Valdosta State. See "About Us" for the most recent students. Students have created and maintained the Digital Commons site, worked on biographies for Jesuit authors, and helped me create the lists of women printers. I'm so proud of the work they all have done, and grateful to Georgia Southern for its support of student and faculty research.
