Last collection of religion prints and ephemera contains approximately 60 printed items related to beliefs and practices usually involving devotional and ritual observances concerning God, creation of the universe, spirituality, and the moral conduct of human affairs.

Certificates pertaining to biblical societies and other theological organizations are represented, as are items relating to baptism and other formal or ceremonial religious rites and initiations. Images of sacred scenes, verses, and parables; portraits of saints or spiritual leaders; and views of houses of worship are also found here.
