Sheldon Jackson Manuscript Collection

Princeton Theological Seminary’s Wright Library is among the world’s most comprehensive theological research libraries serving both the Seminary and the global community. The Library strengthens teaching, inspires learning, broadens access, fosters research, embraces change, and advances and preserves knowledge, in support of the Seminary’s mission. Shaped by two centuries of development, the Library embraces its role at the intersection of the theological record and the community of scholars; continues Princeton Seminary’s commitment to build collections of depth; and promotes an environment of broad access to the theological heritage. With over 8 million print and electronic books in its general collections, a digital library (Theological Commons) of more than 160,000 resources, a robust Special Collections and Archives department, and an inspiringly beautiful building, Wright Library is a heavily utilized resource.

The Internet Archive and Princeton Theological Seminary share in the vision and mission of building a digital library freely accessible to scholars, pastors, and other readers around the globe. To that end, in partnership with the Internet Archive, Princeton Theological Seminary has developed the Theological Commons, a digital library of over 160,000 resources on theology and religion, including books, journals, audio recordings, photographs, manuscripts, and other formats dating from the medieval era to the present.
