Mission of the Archive

The archive provides a repository that identifies and collects, organizes and preserves, and provides access to historically and canonically significant, non-current documents, artifacts, and other works of enduring value pertaining to the operation of the Diocese, its parishes, agencies, institutions, and people. The archive makes available and extends its materials to researchers as permitted by canon law, civil law, particular diocesan law, and conservation considerations.

Administrative Support

The primary purpose of the diocesan archives is to assist the Bishop, Chancery, and all offices and agencies of the diocese with the information necessary to fulfill their responsibilities. The archives contains data on individual parishes and assists parishes with historical information.
