Welcome to the Bishop Payne Library web site, your electronic access to our theological resources and research services.
We have a new Library catalog! Take a look at the new interface and experience the enhanced functionality and more powerful searching capability. We invite you to explore the Library information page as well.
Through the seminary's strong support, the library has built an outstanding collection, and it thrives on the dedication of its librarians to serve our patrons. We encourage students to make full use of our printed and electronic resources during their stay at the seminary, and we invite alumni/ae, clergy, and researchers to visit our virtual library.
We invite you to explore our information pages on the African American Episcopal Historical Collection, a joint project of Virginia Seminary and the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church. This archival collection documents the invaluable contributions of African Americans to the life of the Episcopal Church: past, present and future.
