- Notes
- "Medley was appointed Bishop of Fredericton on 25 April 1845, consecrated at Lambeth Palace on 4 May and enthroned in Fredericton on 11 June". When the Fredericton cathedral was completed in 1853 a catalogue of the books in the Cathedral Library was also published. "A great deal of energy had gone into this very typical nineteenth-century catalogue. At publication it contained 2770 entries. This library's success was in Medley's determination to acquire books during each trip to England". "What we have discussed are the majority of books in the Cathedral Library. The question remains about the bishop's personal library. What became of it ?" The answer was finally given in an article in Fredericton's 'Daily Gleaner' of 6 August 1904, with the caption 'Bishop Medley's Library'. "[S]ome of his most valuable books were sent to England to his surviving sons .... About fifteen hundred have been given in augmentation of the Cathedral Library .... The remaining books have been divided between the six Deaneries of the Diocese, as a supplement to the libraries already belonging to them". "The [reconstructed] Medley library catalogue currently contains 3766 entries and over 5000 volumes. The original catalogue, with the handwritten supplement, contained 3266 entries. The additional 500 entries consist of the books donated by Mrs. Medley, plus the volumes returned. Actually, by searching by bookplate, we established that 965 of the books came from John Medley's collection".

- Prologue
- The following report was presented by Canon R.R. Latimer:
- Church House Library, started in 1965, was officially opened and dedicated by Archbishop Wright in February 1966.
- Existing books including those formerly belonging to the Social Service Department, have been catalogued, and new materials added - particularly reference works and periodicals. Work of the library is increasing and developing as Church House staff make greater use of the librarian's services. Reference service is provided for the staff in all subject areas - other libraries being used for information not available here. Books from other sources are obtained on inter-library loan. There is also reference service to the public on questions relating to the Anglican Communion. Books are lent to anyone interested. Materials have been provided for clergy, for students, for parish study groups (in areas where there is no diocesan library) and for conferences.
- A special project is the acquisition of informative material about the Anglican Communion in all parts of the world - a subject area not covered by any other libraries in the vicinity. Forty "Anglican Communion" periodicals are now being received.
- All Anglican Communion materials are reported to the National Library at Ottawa.

- On page 8 of his article (pp. [5]-15), Richard Virr refers to "the Communications that have been prepared for this conference. .... I have identified eight categories of libraries but perhaps there are more. Our discussions may bring others to light". The "Communications" section consists of short descriptions of libraries written by various authors and arranged into one of eight categories by Virr. The eight categories are: I. Bray Libraries; II. Diocesan Libraries; III. Colleges, Schools and Institutions; IV. Parish Libraries; V. Sunday School Libraries; VI. Special Libraries; VII. Episcopal Libraries; and VIII. Personal Libraries. Some of these categories include more than one entry. Each Communication is catalogued and indexed separately.

- "The Bray Collection consists of the surviving books from three early clerical libraries. In the spring of 1977 about a score of boxes full of old books were discovered in the belfry of Christ Church, Windsor [Nova Scotia], where they had lain forgotten for decades. The hundreds of volumes were the remains of a library owned in the eighteenth century by a clergyman in England". "As indicated by their bookplates, the books were presented to the parish in 1797 by Dr. Bray's Associates of London, which had acquired the library from its former owner". "While the library at Windsor was the first of the Bray Libraries in Nova Scotia, and probably in Canada, a number of others were established throughout the province in the nineteenth century. Two of these are also preserved at King's [College, Halifax]. The parochial library from Trinity Church, Digby (Bray II), founded about 1844 .... The parochial library from Trinity Church, Liverpool (Bray III), dates from the middle of the nineteenth century".

- Reporting on his trip to England in 1884, Bishop Edward Sullivan, of Algoma, reported on his work toward the "improvement in our clerical libraries in Algoma ... by the formation of 'Lending Libraries', to remain forever the property of the diocese". After contacting numerous societies, individuals and publishers, the bishop had received about six hundred books. "These have been subdivided into infant libraries, one being planted at Port Sydney in Charge of the Rev. R.W. Plant, for the use of the missionaries in Muskoka, a second at Shequiandah, in the care of the Rev. F. Frost, for Manitoulin Island, and the third for the cathedral city of Sault Ste. Marie (population 800), for the remaining clergy of the diocese". "I shall be most grateful to any member of the Church of England in Canada who will follow the beginning that has been made, and give our clerical lending libraries a place in their loving remembrance". The contents of the library were transferred to Trinity College, Toronto, in the 1980s.
