This subseries contains research, correspondence, essays, chronicles, and media clippings about the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph order and the Sisters of St. Joseph of the London diocese. The primary focus is on the founding of the order in France and the early years in London. Some of the histories present were written by Sisters. Sister Theresa Marie Caillouette wrote on the founding of the Sisters of St. Joseph in France and Father Jean-Pierre Medaille. Her writings and research, including material written by Father Nepper, are present. Sister Julia Moore’s The Sisters of St. Joseph Beginnings in London Diocese 1868-1878 is also included. Photocopies of Sister Ignatia Campbell’s Act of Profession from 1858 and correspondence arranging for the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto to come to London in 1870 are among the research notes. There is also a short biography of St. Roch, patron saint of contagious diseases. There is correspondence with external parties conducting research on the Sisters, one of which was for the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Religious at Rome.
