Melissa Chim

I am the Reference Librarian and Archivist at the General Theological Seminary. I earned my MLIS from St. John's University and MA in History from Queen Mary, the University of London. My past research has been on using the library's special collections as a tool to foster student engagement. Before starting work as an academic librarian, I served as an intern in the archives of historical societies around New York. My two favorite parts of my job are working with rare books and helping students with their research. Through a generous grant from Atla (the American Theological Library Association), my colleague Anne Silver and I will publish our textbook, History of the Center for Christian Spirituality, in summer 2022.
