Archivist
Program Description
The collections consist
of correspondence, information on bishops,
pastors and other officials, parish histories
and anniversary publications (incomplete),
parish boundaries, diocesan directories,
deceased personnel files, photographs
in black and white prints, and some blueprints.
Of particular note are the files of THE
FLORIDA CATHOLIC newspaper at its main
office in Orlando, subject to the use
of the diocese's archivist, via written
or oral request. Fees by request.
Collection
The collection consists
primarily of correspondence; information
on bishops, pastors and
other officials; parish histories; anniversary
publications; parish boundaries; blueprints;
deceased personnel files; diocesan directories;
Official Catholic Directories; Florida
Catholic Newspaper;
some photographs; and various other
items. Also of interest
are the files of the Florida
Catholic Newspaper which
are located at their headquarters in
Orlando. (Note:
our relatively young archival collection
is presently being inventoried, organized
and cataloged, so much of our collection
is currently not immediately accessible).
Use
of any of these materials is subject
to the approval of the archivist. Research
fees by request.
Requests for sacramental
records should
be directed to the specific parish
where
the event took place. For help in
locating a parish; or, if the parish
is not known,
contact the archivist.
Genealogical
requests should be submitted via mail.
The
Diocese of Orlando was established
in 1968. Prior to that time, the
Central Florida area was administered
by the
Diocese of St. Augustine, which
retains many of
the pre-1968 records for the Diocese
of Orlando.
Additionally, the Diocese of Orlando
has very little information on
other Florida
dioceses. Requests for information
on other dioceses should be directed
to
those dioceses.
