Digital Archive
With the co-operation of the Malliner Charitable Foundation and the financial support of Marquette University, many of Father Lonergan's academic papers have been digitized and are now available online.
Most scans have been converted into searchable PDF files, but handwritten materials are available in a non-searchable format. In some cases, Professor Robert M. Doran has provided transcriptions of handwritten material.
Access to the digital archive and further information are available at The Marquette University Lonergan Website.
Library
The Lonergan Research Institute has an exhaustive collection of primary and secondary literature on Bernard Lonergan, including an extensive collection of doctoral dissertations from around the world.
In the spring of 2010 most of the holdings (759 books and 23 serials) were added to the University of Toronto SIRSI Library online catalogue system. Of these volumes, 306 books and 1 serial did not exist previously anywhere else in the UT library system. Acquisitions are now added to SIRSI. Approximately 25 books and 300 bound theses have not been added. Work on these volumes will resume in the new academic year.
Scholars around the world will find the LRI holdings listed in SIRSI under the Regis College Library with the location noted as Lonergan Research Institute. The location code follows the LRI legacy coding system. A guide to these codes is available onsite. The collection is non-circulating and may be used in the LRI Library during regular business hours.
