The 100,000+ volumes of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom
Davis Library comprise an extraordinary collection of American
and international insurance materials. Our library has
historical as well as contemporary collections, with the oldest
volume dating back to 1569, and an extensive collection of
insurance policies and documents tracing the development of
insurance terminology and contracts since 1665. The Library was
established in 1901 by the Insurance Society of New
York (ISNY) to provide a high-quality education and a
first-rate library for insurers and working professionals. In 1962,
ISNY's School of Insurance formally became a fully accredited
college, The College of Insurance. In June 1, 2001, the College
merged with St. John's University and was renamed the School of
Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Sciences of the Tobin
School of Business. Today, individuals and institutions take
advantage of the library's vast insurance resources through
membership.
