Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contains the relics, holy cards, sacred vessels, and other holy ephemera donated to the province. It is separated into four series.

The first series covers regular relics and is composed of four cartons. Each carton has four trays of 15 cubes, although the third and fourth trays in the fourth carton have six cubes for larger reliquaries. The relics are arranged roughly in alphabetical order, but later additions have been added on when acquired. Relic documentation, when available, is placed in four binders arranged by Trays.

The second series includes Large Relics that did not fit in the cartons. They are in large, individual packets and comprise one large box. Their documentation follows the binder format as above.

The third series is comprised of Holy Cards, Medals, and other holy ehpemera. This includes necklaces, rosaries, or other religious items that might have come alongside the relics but were not directly related. This series is currently being processed.

The fouth series holds sacred vessels such as chalices, ciboriums, cruets, and a small collection of mass kits. Associated bags or holding materials are kept when possible. This series is currently being processed.
