Institutional History
Founded by Presbyterians, in Auburn New York State, in 1818, Auburn Theological Seminary
first prepared clergy for the American frontier and foreign missions. Faculty participated in the
great social movements of the time: the struggles against slavery and for women's suffrage,
temperance, and reforms that uplifted the poor. Auburn was one of the first theological schools
in the country to educate women and to enroll students from Asia, and it was among the first to
establish a summer session and a school of religious education.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Auburn had become a prominent seminary and a center of
theological inquiry. In the battles over the authority of the Bible, Auburn's name became
attached to a famous defense of freedom. The Auburn Affirmation opposed efforts of
fundamentalists to impose a single interpretation of scripture on others.
In 1939 the Great Depression forced the seminary to move from Auburn, New York, to the
campus of Union Theological Seminary on Manhattan's upper west side in 1939. The two
seminaries have never merged but enjoy a remarkable friendship. Union offers degree
programs; Auburn focuses on lifelong learning for clergy and laity, and on research addressing
the needs of religious communities and the academy.
Under the leadership of Auburn's President Rev. Dr. Katherine Rhodes Henderson, Auburn
moved from UTS and is based in the nearby Interchurch Center, 475 Riverside Drive, New York.
Auburn equips bold and resilient leaders who can bridge religious
divides, build community, pursue justice, and heal the world.

Processing
In processing the Auburn records and papers to the Burke Library, an attempt was made to
maintain the original order imposed initially to the historic records.
Former classification system notation is cited in brackets: AE60/Au1: Lib-Ab thru P1821
Folded materials were flattened. Staples, rubber bands, and metal clips were removed and
replaced with plastic clips. Acidic papers were interleaved with acid free paper or housed in
Mylar folders. All materials were placed in acid-free folders and boxes. Material marked
FRAGILE may be available to be consulted by the researcher with care.
