Manuscripts and Archives

Harvard Divinity School Library holds more than 1,400 collections of archival material, including letters, diaries, photographs, and drafts.

As the official repository for the Unitarian Universalist Association, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, and Beacon Press, the collections are particularly strong in the Unitarian Universalist (UU) tradition, and also include UU ministers' papers and the records of UU affiliated groups.

Beyond the UU tradition, we collect the papers of Harvard Divinity School faculty, select records of Harvard Divinity School, and the records of other religious organizations and individuals.

Harvard Divinity School Records

The official records of Harvard Divinity School are found in the Harvard University Archives. This collection includes some of the more informal records of the school, such as photographs, films, audio and videocassettes, posters and brochures. We also have some of the records of the Society for Promoting Theological Education, which was founded in 1816 to foster the study of theology at Harvard University. The papers of Harvard Divinity School faculty members are found in the category of Personal Papers.

Unitarian Universalist Institutional Records

History

The American Unitarian Association (AUA) and the Universalist Church of America (UCA) merged in 1961 to form the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). The Harvard Divinity School Library holds the records of these three institutions and their related organizations. Most of the records listed under the AUA and the UCA precede the 1961 merger date, but in some cases there is overlap with the records of the UUA. If you are looking for records that were created around the time of the 1961 merger, it is best to search the records of all three organizations. There is also a category entitled Unitarian Universalist Merger of 1961, which includes records that relate to the merger in very specific ways.
