UoB - Institute of Theology
THE LIBRARY
Since its foundation, the Institute endeavors to establish a well equipped library to sustain research work. The library was lately enriched by the acquisition of book collections of Dr. Assad Rustum and Frederic Ambuba. It also received a number of gifts from individuals and ecumenical organizations.
I Organization
At present, the library occupies an area of 480 square meters and consists of 20,000 volumes in different languages (Arabic, Syriac, English, French, Greek, Romanian and Russian).
It contains also a collection of Arab Christian manuscripts on microfilm including 56 Balamand manuscripts and St. Catherine's Monastery's manuscripts. A collection of maps and videotapes is also available.
The contents of the library are in the process of cataloguing and indexing.
