Archibald Library

The fully automated and beautifully designed Archibald Library is the hub of research activity on campus, serving high school, college, seminary, and distance learning students. Expanded and renovated in 1998, the 25,000 square foot library provides a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for study. Our shelves are home to about 73,000 books, 9,500 serial volumes, 315 serial subscriptions, and 400,000 microfiche titles. From the 27 computers in the research centre and elsewhere in the library, students can use a variety of online indexes and databases including access to approximately 7,250 online journal and magazine titles, 2,300 e-books, and our online catalogue.

In addition to borrowing books, students can use a full range of reference services including inter-library loans and research assistance. For our off-campus students, our online catalogue is available from anywhere in the world. If you have any specific questions about the library's resources or services, please contact us at library@briercrest.ca.

The Archibald Library is also home to the Briercrest College and Seminary archive. Over the past year our archive has been digitizing “Young People’s Hour” radio broadcasts that aired in the 1940’s and 50’s. If you would be interested in accessing one or more of these recordings, or have another archive related question, please contact us at library@briercrest.ca. We gratefully acknowledge financial support for this digitization project from the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation through SaskCulture Inc.
