Biographical/Historical Description
The collection consists of various types of holy cards and book marks, some handmade.
Additions are made at infrequent intervals.
Scope and Content
These cards have been collected by Library Staff from books donated as gifts to the GTU
Library. If, while processing the book for inclusion in the library collection, a holy
card is found, it is added to the collection. There is no particular theme to the
collection. Various languages are included. Of interest are the older, handmade cards and
the memorial prayer cards for John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
