Drew Special Collections and University Archives
Drew University Library houses an important collection of Anglican prayer books, thanks to two generous donors. In 1978, Frederick E. Maser gave the Library his collection of 152 prayer books, to which he has since added more than 50 titles. In 1996, John Prinster presented Drew with a complementary collection of nearly 70 volumes, as well as 2 dozen related historical and ecclesiastical works. These 300 or so titles, printed between 1522 and 1986, in turn complement Drew's sizable holdings in prayer book history and criticism. Moreover, many of the prayer books in each collection are bound with Bibles and psalters that are of considerable bibliographical, genealogical, and historical interest in their own right.
