McCormick and Newberry Library enter partnership

newberry library.jpg McCormick Theological Seminary has entered into an innovative partnership with the world-renowned Newberry Library. The Newberry, a world-renown research library, is located on Chicago’s near north shore, and is free and open to the public. On 9-10 July 2008, McCormick's rare books (approximately 2035 titles, 650 of which came from Lane Theological Seminary) moved to the Newberry on irrevocable deposit, joining Newberry's 1.5 million rare books, 5 million manuscript pages and 500,000 maps. Newberry will repair, catalog, preserve, and provide access and security to these rare books at their expense (compliments of a $175,000 grant from the Breslauer Foundation for this purpose).
