Provincial Newsletter Collection

 Collection
Identifier: PG-0701

Scope and Contents

The Provincial Newsletter Collection documents internal communication within the Dominican Province of St. Albert the Great from 1961 to 1999. Issued regularly for members of the Province, the newsletter served as a vehicle for sharing provincial news, community updates, administrative notices, obituaries, ministry reports, and reflections on religious life. It was intended for internal circulation and reflects the evolving priorities, concerns, and self-understanding of the Province over nearly four decades.

The collection consists primarily of published newsletter issues arranged chronologically and preserved in multiple parallel sets. Coverage varies by year, with the frequency of publication increasing over time. Early years include irregular issuance, while later periods reflect standardized monthly or near-monthly publication schedules. In some cases, volumes combine multiple years, most notably the combined Volume 18 that spanned 1978–1979.

In addition to the newsletters themselves, the collection includes supplemental materials distributed alongside the newsletter during selected years. These materials include inserts, announcements, and related documents intended to accompany regular issues and provide additional context or information to readers.

The collection is arranged in two series: Series I, Newsletter Issues, and Series II, Supplemental Materials. Newsletter issues are arranged chronologically by year and maintained in multiple complete. Supplemental materials are arranged by year. The collection spans from 1961 to 1999 and comprises multiple boxes.
