| Notes |
Several theological colleges in Montreal associated with McGill University and in 1912 became known as the Joint Board of Theological Colleges. Divinity Hall was built for the Joint Board in 1931 and it housed a library where the theological colleges combined their holdings. It is located on the McGill campus. It was known as Divinity Hall until 1972 when it became the William and Henry Birks building.
