The Macartney Collection
Clarence Macartney bequeathed his substantial library to the McCartney Library. The theological portion of the Macartney Collection is housed in the Library's tower room. The remainder of the collection is housed in the compact shelving located on the Library's ground floor. The Collection is composed primarily of the personal library and papers of Clarence Edward Noble Macartney, a prominent American preacher and church leader during the first half of the twentieth century. The books in the collection reflect Dr. Macartney's interests in preaching, public speaking, religion, and U.S. Civil War history. These materials can be accessed with the help of a librarian.
