Introducing the Catholic Portal
The Catholic Research Resources Portal, or "Catholic Portal," provides global, freely available access to rare, unique and/or uncommon materials on Catholics and Catholicism in libraries, seminaries, special collections and archives. Formats of materials found in the Portal include manuscripts, books, ephemera, photographs, and artifacts of interest. Portal records identify the owning institutions for non-digital resources and, where the resources exist in a digital format, link directly to the digital resource. The Portal is a core component of the mission of the Catholic Research Resources Alliance (CRRA).
The CRRA has identified twelve primary collecting themes of particular interest and importance on significant aspects of the Catholic tradition. See below for a complete list of the collecting themes, including brief descriptions of them. These themes are intended to encourage contribution of relevant institutional resources, but are not intended to be prescriptive.
