Repository information: The present Archdiocese of New Orleans includes the eight civil parishes in the greater New Orleans area: Jefferson; Orleans; Plaquemines; St. Bernard; St. Charles; St. John, St. Tammany; and Washington. In addition to housing materials for these civil parishes, the archives also holds Louisiana-wide material from earlier periods when the archdiocesan boundaries included all or most of the state. The women in these collections appear as nuns, mothers and parishioners. The archives has four major sections:
Historical Records
Sacramental, Cemetery and Orphanage Records
Manuscript Collections
Library
