Mannix Library
Mannix Library’s mission is first to serve the staff and students of the Catholic Theological College. Mannix Library is proud to partner with the University of Divinity (UD), providing access to a range of digital resources and guides through the Library Hub.
Mannix Library staff provide support to other libraries within the Library Hub system, making us leaders in library technology.
History
The Library began in 1923 to serve Corpus Christi College, the seminary for Catholic dioceses of Victoria and Tasmania. The library had different campuses at Werribee, Glen Waverley until Catholic Theological College was established in 1972.
In 1999, the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne assumed responsibility for funding the library, which was renamed Mannix Library and relocated from Clayton to its current site in East Melbourne.
University of Divinity
The UD is an overarching body of theological colleges from a range of denominations, theological convictions and locations around Australia. The Library Hub is a service which is provided to colleges within the UD system.
