Scope and content
This subseries contains research materials and chronicles about the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph created and compiled by Sisters, priests, and Bishop R. H. Dignan.
The material includes correspondence about their research, timelines, notes, and news clippings, as well as manuscripts and final versions of papers, essays, and articles chronicling the history of the Sisters. There are photocopies of correspondence from the late 1800s concerning the establishment of the London congregation, Priest John F. Coffey’s 1885 The City and Diocese of London, Ontario, Canada: An Historical Sketch, and an excerpt from Father John Anthony Kevin Farrell’s unpublished thesis “Roman Catholic Church in London 1826-1931.” Major topics include the founding of the order of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the order’s history in Canada, the founding of the London congregation, the General Superiors of the London community. Some material also covers the healthcare institutions founded by the London Sisters, education in the diocese of London, and the Peruvian missions.
In addition to their own historical research and writings, some of these individuals were also involved in larger historic projects. Sister Fiorino Pasquale was involved with a diocesan history project, and correspondence about this project and lists of photographs used are in her file.
