Mannix Library The Mannix Library was founded in 1923 as part of Corpus Christi College—the provincial seminary for the Catholic dioceses of Victoria and Tasmania. The seminary and the library were located at various times at Werribee, Glen Waverley and Clayton. When Catholic Theological College was established in 1972, library services were extended to staff and students of CTC. In 1999, the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne assumed responsibility for funding the library, which was renamed the Mannix Library and relocated from Clayton to its current site in East Melbourne. Today, Mannix Library exists primarily to serve the needs of CTC staff and students. The library also welcomes members from the wider University of Divinity community and provides library services to subscribed members of the general public. The Library provides access to more than 150,000 book and journal volumes, as well as a range of online resources. In addition to the main library facility, there is also a large compactus area on the ground floor, where historical materials and rarely used items are held. These items are available on request.
