Women Religious History Sources (5th edition) Preferred Citation Text/Images courtesy of the Sisters of Loretto Heritage Center Scope and Content The archives collection includes organizational, institutional, and personal records documenting the Congregation of the Sisters of Loretto, its 150 schools and two colleges, and the 3400 members of the community since 1812. Deliberate archival activity began in the 1890s, before which collecting and preservation were haphazard. Nevertheless, original documents span the entire life of the Sisters of Loretto from April 25, 1812 to the present; photographs cover the period from the 1850s to the present; artifacts also span the entire community lifetime. English language records predominate but earliest documents include Flemish and French, documents from mid-1800s include Spanish, and documents from the Vietnam War era include Vietnamese and other languages. Notable documentation exists of travel on the Santa Fe Trail 1852-1867 with establishment of schools in Hispanic New Mexico and Texas; sisters nursing in the 1918 Infuenza Epidemic in Kentucky; missionary activity 17 in China from 1923 through the Communist regime of the 1950s; Sister Mary Like Tobin's participation in the Vatican Council of 1963-65; sisters nursing in Vietnam orphanages during the Vietnam War, and follow-up services for orphans placed in homes in Europe, Australia, and the US, continuing in the present; and the creation in 1970 of an alternative way of belonging called Comembership.
