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.
