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 tenth assistant, Baoxin Lau (BA student), completed her semester with us in Spring 2021! Since then, we've had four more students, including the prize-winning Mady Bullard (see the About Us section for more), who is currently pursuing a degree in Library and Information Studies at Valdosta State. 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.
Team Summer 2023
Hello! My name is Adriana Smith. I'm a junior undergraduate pursuing a major in History with a minor in Anthropology at the Armstrong campus of Georgia Southern University. I am also a member of our campus's College Panhellenic Council (CPH) and work as our Vice President of Philanthropy and Programming. I choose to pursue History as my major since a lot of what we should know about the past has been forgotten, often because the information at the time was deemed unimportant.
When I'm not working on academics or hanging out with my sorority sisters, you can either find me working full-time, or at home snuggling with my "fur-baby" Ollie while we binge-watch our latest favorite TV series.

Adriana helped identify some more information on our women printworkers, and contributed a new biography. Those determined efforts made a difference--we thank you!
