The Library of Greek-Catholic Theology of Cluj-Napoca

The library was founded together with the Faculty of Greek-Catholic Theology, in 1990. In 1998, it became part of the Lucian Blaga Central University Library, as one of its branches.

A large part of the collection of publications was compiled from the donations received as aids from the Greek-Catholic Bishopric of Cluj-Gherla, together with the numerous donations made throughout the years by private individuals, among whom we must mention: Jean Chevalier, mons.D.H.C.Martin Luley, prof.dr.Ernst Christoph Suttner. Since 1998, the library’s collection was also enriched by the acquisitions made by the Lucian Blaga Central University Library and the Faculty of Greek-Catholic Theology.

The fields covered by the publications are as follows: theology, history (world history, history of the church), philosophy, psychology, social work, sociology, Romanian, French, English, Latin, Greek language and literature, art history, archaeology.
