CFI Libraries

At CFI's headquarters branch in Amherst, New York, three unique research libraries --maintained by its Research Institute -- share a dramatic reading room, workstations for researchers, and a 60,000 volume collection.

The Skeptics Library and the fast-growing Library of American Philosophical Naturalism is unique in the world, while the Library of Humanism and Freethought is the foremost such collection in the English-speaking world.

Part of the holdings focus on the worldwide secular humanist and skeptic movements, archiving local group newsletters and nationally circulating magazines.

CFI's research libraries are electronically catalogued and accessible via the internet and OCLC, the online network linking the catalogues of hundreds of university, college, and specialty libraries. The specialized collections are complemented by a general reference section. For more information, please visit www.cfilibraries.org.
