Archives
The Archives of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine, FL is located in the Motherhouse complex in St. Augustine, Florida. It exists to collect, organize, preserve, and make available to the Congregational administration, members, researchers, and to the public, records and materials which pertain to the origin, history and charism of the Congregation. This function contributes to a knowledge and deeper understanding of the role and contributions the Sisters of St. Joseph have made in the Catholic Church and in society since their arrival in Florida in 1866.
The archives contain a variety of materials such as documents, letters, photographs, artwork, lacework, artifacts, and other historical records related to their ministries. Access to the archives is limited and by appointment only.
