A Center for Study and Publication
The Library is a special collection of St. Olaf College which serves anyone interested in the writings and ideas of Søren Kierkegaard, the 19th-century Danish philosopher, and related thinkers. The collection includes approximately 11,000 book volumes, some of which are a collection of editions matching those owned by Kierkegaard himself. The Library also offers collections of periodical articles, newspaper articles, and archival materials related to Kierkegaard studies. Microfilm, videos, and audiotapes are included. As a study and publication center, the Library especially welcomes students and scholars with serious interest in Kierkegaard research.
