We love to see how Loretto’s Carbon Reduction Fund is supporting environmental projects like the ones at Springhouse!

Along with several other members of the Archivists for Congregations of Women Religious (ACWR), the Loretto Heritage Center was recently awarded a grant to create finding aids for Indigenous boarding schools run by Sisters.
What, you might ask, is a finding aid? A finding aid is a tool that helps researchers find specific records or resources within archives. The finding aids created by all of the ACWR members for this project will be housed on the same website, making it easier for those searching for information about Indigenous boarding schools to find what they seek.
This summer, the Heritage Center will work to re-process school collections from Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico in order to create our finding aid. The process will be item-level, meaning that every single item in the collection will be listed on the finding aid. This provides researchers with an invaluable tool for searching our collection of Indigenous boarding school materials.
