Camden Theological Library [www.library.nsw.uca.org.au]

About the library

Camden Theological Library has developed from the merger of the Leigh College and Camden College Libraries in 1975. Recently, an arrangement with the Presbyterian Church has resulted in the addition of a large number of books, which formed part of the collection of St. Andrews College, University of Sydney.

Whilst older books in the collection reflect developments and trends typical of the theology of previous years, more recent acquisitions represent the interests and concerns of a contemporary Australian church seeking to relate to the issues of modern society.

The Main Collection of the library is an open access collection.

The collection contains books, journals, videos and other material on a wide range of topics, including Biblical Studies, Church History, Systematic and Pastoral Theology, Liturgy and Worship, Missiology, Sociology, Psychology and Australian Culture.

The collection strengths include Genesis, Psalms, Luke-Acts, Systematic Theology, Ecumenism, Methodism and the Uniting Church in Australia.

Using the library

Camden Theological Library primarily supports the work of the students and faculty of United Theological College.

It is also freely open to use by ministers and members of the Uniting Church.

Students from other colleges and members of the general public may apply to become subscription borrowers for an annual fee of $120.
