The brag is that the Princeton libraries contain the largest theological collection in the United States and second in the world, behind only the Vatican Library in Rome. Princeton is for Barth studies what Grand Rapids is for Calvin and the Puritans. The Burke Library at Union has 604,000 bound volumes. Westminster (East) has 140,000 bound volumes; Puritan Reformed holds 40,000+; Westminster CA claims 120,000 volumes; Fuller has 500,000 books and media.
