Scope and content
The scrapbooks contain a variety of photographs in black and white and colour. The photographs are mainly of individual Sisters, group photographs of Sisters, Sisters celebrating holidays, birthdays, jubilees, priests and bishops with connections to the Sisters, floral arrangements, cemeteries, Mount St. Joseph in London, Medaille Retreat House in London, 485 Windermere Road in London, and Holy Rosary in Windsor. Mount St. Joseph was the Sisters' residence in London until 2007 when they moved to their newly built residence at 485 Windermere Road. The photographs of Mount St. Joseph include the exterior and interior of the building, aerial photographs of the property, the grounds, Ignatia Hall, and the Immaculate Conception Chapel. There are group photographs of the Sisters with staff and students at Holy Family School in Windsor and St. Lawrence’s School in London, group photographs of the Divine Word Group, and of those who attended a public speaking workshop in Chatham, Ontario. There are also various photographs of the Danley and Murphy families, including Christmas cards, and a few photographs of Pont-Viau, Stratford, Kenya, Montreal, Marmora, and Kingsville, Ontario.
There are also a variety of clippings from newspapers, newsletters, and magazines concerning events the Sisters were involved in and about the Church. Notable topics include the release of "Sister: The History of the Sisters of St. Joseph of London" by Dahlia Reich, the construction of 485 Windermere Road in London, and the response to the conviction of Father Charles Sylvestre for sexual assault. There is also a statement from Bishop Roland Fabbro concerning this case.
One scrapbook is dedicated to Sister Chrysostom Murphy’s jubilees and includes photographs, pamphlets, and news clippings from her reception in 1951 at Sacred Heart Convent in London, her Golden Jubilee in 2001, and her Diamond Jubilee in 2011.
Within the scrapbooks there are also postcards, icons of Saints, prayer cards, funeral cards, biographies of Sisters, celebration speeches, invitations, pamphlets, tickets, and obituaries of Sisters, priests, and bishops.
