Jesuit Archives

        History

The New England Province became an independent jurisdiction from the Maryland-New York Province in 1926 and its history is reflected in its archival records. The collection was kept in the Provincial's office in Boston until the early 1980s when it was relocated to Campion Center in Weston, MA. In 1997 the Archives were moved to the College of the Holy Cross and a project archivist was hired. The records measure approximately 1300 linear feet and will be completely processed in June, 2005. The collection includes records of the Provincial, treasurer, formation director, personnel, and the various apostolates in which New England Jesuits have been engaged. House, community, parish records, foreign mission records, personal papers, and publications are also represented. A large audiovisual collection contains videos, cassettes, films, slides and photographs. In addition, the Archives maintains a collection of books authored by members of the New England Province since its founding.
