The Congregational Library


      The Congregational Library located in Boston's historic Beacon Hill, was founded in 1853 with 56 books from personal collections. Today researchers can find approximately 225,000 items of historical documentation including resources about American religion, New England local and town histories, and 300-years of American Congregationalism.  
     With English Protestant roots, this religious tradition was established in America by the New England Puritans during the 1600's. Congregationalism currently consists as one of four denominations that merged in 1957 to form the United Church of Christ. And also embodies, the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches, and the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference (our First E&R Church affiliation).
