Mennonite Historical Library, Goshen College

The Mennonite Historical Library, located on the third floor of the Goshen College Library, contains numerous books in Amharic from the Anabaptist Meserete Kristos Church. Many of these books are uncataloged or have limited cataloging. AMBS Elkhart students may visit Mennonite Historical Library in person or request that materials be sent to AMBS for use in the AMBS Library.

AMBS Library Special Collections

AMBS Library owns two manuscript codices in the Ge'ez language of Psalms and Prayers of the Prophets. These are housed in the library's Special Collections Room. AMBS librarians would be happy to show these to you and let you use them. We can also take pictures of them. Please make an appointment with a librarian to use special collections.
