The European Jesuit Libraries Provenance Project

This is the largest census of books owned by European Jesuit institutions prior to the suppression. It includes both texts currently held in libraries and information from pre-1773 inventories, and is an ongoing project created by Kathleen Comerford (Georgia Southern University).

The EJLPP depends not only on libraries willing to share their collections, but on student interns. Our tenth assistant, Baoxin Lau (BA student), completed her semester with us in Spring 2021! Since then, we've had four more students, including the prize-winning Mady Bullard (see the About Us section for more), who is currently pursuing a degree in Library and Information Studies at Valdosta State. Students have created and maintained the Digital Commons site, worked on biographies for Jesuit authors, and helped me create the lists of women printers. I'm so proud of the work they all have done, and grateful to Georgia Southern for its support of student and faculty research.

Gary M. Randolph (Fall 2024) is a history major with a minor in political science from Augusta, GA. He plans on pursuing a career in public history and aspires to work in a museum or the national park service. He is currently apart of the Chi Septaton Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa at Georgia Southern and working on finishing his degree by the end of the year.

Gary helped us catch up on the printer biographies, working alphabetically by city. This is long overdue, and we're excited to see it happen!
