The Archives seeks to promote an understanding of the origins, aims, and goals of the Diocese as reflected in the workings of the official diocesan offices, agencies, consultative bodies, and institutions. This includes sacramental records as well as mundane items, such as property transfers and genealogical data.

To Collect
Although our main function is to serve the administrative needs of the Bishop and the Diocese, we also seek to selectively collect papers of individuals and records of organizations engaged in work reflective of the Catholic Church in the Diocese. If you have items to submit, please view our submissions page.

Preserve
We are available to assist the parishes of the Diocese with their archival records and the preservation of their history. To see the types of files we preserve, please view our holdings page.

Make available
Our office actively promotes the history of the Diocese and its parishes through exhibits, publications, and other media. We also handle hundreds of requests a month from people interested in our collections. If you have a request, please view our using the archives section.
