Newsletters, 1984-2002
Scope and Contents
The Dominican Friar Province Records document the contact between the Province of St. Albert the Great and other provinces, vice provinces, and vicariates of the Order of Preachers. The collection is made up of correspondence, materials relating to visas and visits, Dominicana ephemera, newsletters, and publications, with a small number of photographs, histories of priories and houses, and files on individual friars.
Correspondence is the largest component mostly between 1960 and 2005, with earlier files from the 1940s. Newsletters and periodicals of other provinces form the next largest group, with the longest runs from Canada (Reseau) and Central America (IDEC Newsletter). The collection also contains provincial chapter acts, statutes and assembly materials, pamphlets, and a small number of older printed histories of the Mexican province. Material is in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Latin.
Coverage varies among entities, and many series consist of a single correspondence folder. Correspondence between provincials and individual friars is held in separate collections and is not described in this finding aid.
