Ambrose Swasey Library

Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School maintains the library to support the academic programs of the school. The major part of its collection has been merged with the Rush Rhees Library less than 2 miles away on the campus of the University of Rochester, thereby enhancing student and faculty access to this university library with over 3 million volumes, which is one of the premier collections in North America.

Divinity school students and faculty have access to the full collection and services of the university library through the school’s online catalog and circulation services, which are merged with the University of Rochester.  It is possible to order books electronically from the university library. Books so ordered are usually delivered within 24 – 48 hours. Click here to access additional reservation links and library resources.
