The primary purpose of the archives is to centralize, arrange, describe, and preserve the documentary heritage of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto. As the first Canadian foundation of the Sisters of St. Joseph, our archives maintain records that reflect the origin, history, spirit and growth of the congregation in Toronto and across Canada.
Research Inquiries
Our archives make accessible, when appropriate, the historical records of the congregation upon the completion of a researcher agreement form. Initial inquiries should be made in writing either by email or by regular post to the attention of the archivist. General or family history research will be provided by staff.
