Some 100,000 volumes are on the Computer Catalogue out of a total of c. 200,000 volumes in the Library. This includes all periodicals. There is a card catalogue for the remainder (a separate one for pre-1801 imprints).
Library of Congress, modified in some subjects.
Some 7,500 secondary titles in ecclesiastical history, with especial emphasis on the history of the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Christian Churches. Primary sources are held in greater numbers (fathers of the Church, official documents of various kinds) but are difficult to quantify.
